SACRED ALIEN - Spiritual Planet 7" & their song from the split 7" with Virgin (1981/83) UK



01. Spiritual Planet
02. Energy
03. Legends

Manchester Glam influenced NWOBHM band SACRED ALIEN was formed in 1980 by Sean Canning and Martin Ainscow. Having released a couple of independent singles, 1981's 'Spiritual Planet' and 1982's 'Eternal Flame', SACRED ALIEN's third effort, 'Legends', was a 1983 split single released on Steve Heighway's Heighway Robbery Records with fellow Glam outfit VIRGIN - who contributed the track 'Sitting In The Front Row'.
Drummer Darren Wilcock and bassist Paul Davies quit in mid 1983 to pursue more Metal minded music, with Wilcock later joining KLAN. After recruiting bassist John Murney and drummer Mark Robbo SACRED ALIEN finally split in late 1983 and Canning formed WHITE TRASH.
Please note : there appears to be a degree of confusion as to whether the "Eternal Flame" single was ever actually released, with some reports suggesting it to be the work of a different band with the same name.
no pw

That was a very old request. It was uploaded, but the link is dead now of course.

Not a problem though, we will keep this thread too.

Heard the single a while ago but not "Legends", I don't think. Cheers!

Ah.
You know what i did?
I clicked on page 1 of the requests by mistake & didn't realise 'til now.

Hopefully someone will enjoy it anyway.

really bad band name but a great record. thank you!
I really like the "whoh~o~oahhh!" part in Energy. kinda reminds me of Misfits for some reason.

Outstanding and very original band. Once again: has anyone even heard of other recordings existing?

Never heard anything else.

I still have this rare single instock if anyone wants the real thing.

Well, there's supposed to be another single called "Eternal Flame", but i've never seen or heard it. No-one seems to be sure whether it was ever released, or indeed if it was actually by the same band or another group with the same name. Anyone know the full story?
