Every truly great act in the history of rock music has had two distinctive traits: a sure hand for hit-worthy compositions, but also the skill and that inner fire to translate these compositions just as hauntingly in their shows. Saxon certainly have both characteristics: having composed countless metal classics, they are also indisputably at home live on stage.
After the release of their live classics, “The Eagle Has Landed I” (1982), “The Eagle Has Landed II” (MOVLP3577), Music On Vinyl will release the last part of these series, The Eagle Has Landed Pt. III, for the first time on vinyl.
It was recorded by two different line-ups: the cuts from 2004 feature drummer Jrg Michael, the 2005 material presents Nigel Glockler. The main band consists, of course, of founding members, Biff Byford (vocals) and Paul Quinn (guitar) plus the long-serving Nibbs Carter (bass) and Doug Scarratt (guitar). SAXON are still one of the hottest live metal acts.
This 3LP will be released in a nice sturdy slipcase with a 4page booklet and contains many of the classics from the band’s early years up to 2004.
The Eagle Has Landed Pt. III will be available for the very first time on vinyl as a numbered limited edition of 1000 copies on gold vinyl. It will contain a exclusive print from the cover and a 4page booklet.
