Post by: TwilightOdyssey on October 15, 2008, 07:06:00 PM
NWOBHM legends TOKYO BLADE announced yesterday that their first 2 albums will finally be released on CD. Each album will include 6 bonus tracks.

No more trying to track down the +$400 original pressings!!!

Hmm, I don't remember them being all that great, although to be honest I can't remember what they actually sounded like.

Does anyone really pay $400 for them? :o

i love NWOBHM style, though my knowledge does not run deep, and I had not heard of Tokyo Blade until Twilight's post. The stuff on their myspace page is really good though I think. good tip

OK, I listened to the tracks on the MySpace page.  They're good, I admit it!  :oops:

I recognised Night of the Blade, If Heaven is Hell and Midnight Rendezvous (especially the latter, that chorus really came back to me - though I find it a bit grating).

Are the first two albums the best?
