Extra-Infos: 'the White Album'
Description:Despite being at the forefront of the burgeoning "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" scene (or NWOBHM) in 1979, alongside Iron Maiden, Def Leppard and Saxon, and spearheaded by Geoff Barton and the Sounds weekly music paper, Diamond Head were unable to secure a major label contract. Seeing their heavy metal and hard rock peers reap rewards and chart success, Diamond Head eventually released their debut LP independently on their own Happy Face Records in 1980, available for the princely sum of £3. 50, sold via an advert in Sounds and at gigs. Without a title or track list, the now highly collectable "The White Album" LP was issued in a plain white LP jacket, with merely a band signature to identify it. In many respects, the songs and music on this highly influential LP are better known than the album itself, as Metallica would include no less than four cover versions from this seven track album on their "Garage Inc. " album; 'It's Electric', 'Helpless', 'The Prince' plus the band's most famous and enduring track, 'Am I Evil?'. This would in turn introduce the band to a younger and larger audience. Although there had subsequently been a number of inferior versions of this album reissued over the years, either based on remixes or audio dubbed from vinyl, this version, originally assembled in 2011, was the first time that the original master tapes were used for a CD reissue. Before signing to MCA records for 1982's "Borrowed Time" LP, they also released a number of rare singles and EPs, which make up the tracks on disc two.
"Lightning To The Nations (2CD Expanded Edition)" is a definitive reissue of Diamond Head's groundbreaking debut album, presented in an expanded 2CD format by Cherry Red. This edition features the original tracks that helped define the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) movement, along with a wealth of bonus material including rare demos and alternative versions. Diamond Head, formed in 1976, are widely regarded as one of the most influential bands in heavy metal history; their innovative riffs and songwriting inspired legends such as Metallica and Megadeth. With classics like "Am I Evil?" and "The Prince," this release offers both longtime fans and new listeners an essential piece of metal heritage. Cherry Red Records is renowned for its high-quality reissues across genres, consistently delivering expertly curated collections that celebrate music history.

Arguably one of the most influential Metal albums since Paranoid. Metallica, Megadeath, Anthrax,Slayer, and many other Metal giants worship this album and it is easy to see why.
