Thanks for the feedback to the question of Vinyl verses CD. I had
pretty much figured we would release the album as a vinyl run - maybe
500 limited edition run. What do you reckon would be the recommended
retail price for this? It will have 8 tracks, (one never ever released
in any format), totalling about 45 -50 mins of heavy metal.

Tyson Dog never got the respect they deserved because they were late to the scene (mid 80's) and panned by the critics as passe for that reason. I think they kick butt though...sound kinda like Saint might sound if they had never repented; or drank way too much communion wine or something. A raw, rusty train wreck of a band.

Judas Priest's British Steel....

The Essential NWOBHM Album !!
