Album Description

LEGEND - “Anthology” 2-CD (MCD021) Finally! A double compact disc collection from LEGEND (of Jersey, UK Channel Islands), one of the most highly regarded New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands ever. This monumental release features all three of the group's early 80's vinyl releases (”Legend,” “Death in the Nursery,” and “Frontline”), as well as unreleased demos, all completely digitally re-mastered onto 2 compact discs that easily destroy the notorious original vinyl pressings! A must have item for any fan of early 80's metal, the N.W.O.B.H.M. or just great heavy guitar music! Supreme axe-wielder Peter Haworth will carve his name into your skull with his unique and powerful fretwork! One of the most important re-releases of the year!!! Do not miss this!!

Customer Reviews:

excellent guitar playing.......2006-04-06

Pretty average song writing here. Not fond of the singers voice.Excellent guitar playing.

I recommend Diamond Head for some old school NWOBHM. Metallica owes a great deal to Diamond Head.

a legend indeed............2005-05-06

Legend had drifted into total obscurity,but now thanks to this very well-done 2 disc anthology those that missed this the first time around(which would include about everybody)can enjoy/experience this original band.
and thats the key word here - ORIGINAL
i wont claim that every track on here is perfection,that they where the greatest thing since sliced bread,etc,etc.
if you rank yourself as any sort of New Wave of British Heavy Metal fan(or really curious about that epoch)this set should either bring back happy memories or amaze you with a band that clearly had its own style

Wangy-Bar playing at its finest........2005-04-06

If you are into a mixture of Sabbath grunge, mixed with guitar virtuso, which is influenced by a mixture of Roth, early Van Halen and Kim Mitchell then you should get this album. Some silly reviewer claims that Legend weren't original. But I have never heard a guitar player that can get us much out of the wangy-bar as this guy and it's these old-school guitar players that show how an electric guitar should be played. Not every track on this album is great. But a lot of this material is over 20 years old. But its great to see this band has released all their earlier compositions on disc and is even greater to see that they are still writing material. 5 stars, just for the cat screaming guitaring definately.

Re: last reviewer - what have we ever had from Oz then ???.......2005-01-19

Skippy, Rolf Harris, Kylie & crap lager.

Legend is one of the best bands from the NWOBHM genre. I wouldn't recommend that anybody wrote reviews if they know nothing about the movement.

NWOBHM?.......2004-12-30

NWOBHM? You have to be kidding! These guys aren't sure who they are ... King Crimson, Robin Trower, The Moody Blues, May Blitz, Hawkwind - you've heard it all before only MUCH BETTER, and heavy metal they sure as hell will never be!!! There's some OK stuff here, but it won't clog your CD player. The muso's show some occassional promise, but the vocalist is enough to make you shudder - this guy has as much of a heavy metal vocal style as Shania Twain and he grates even more than she does - to get through one CD without throwing up is a miracle. If you're looking for British metal, strick to Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, Purple, Budgie and don't waste your money or time with this crap ... it's pretty easy to see why they never made it!

what do u think ? Bernie Shaw sings incredible like Byron.......2003-05-19

FOLKS! This is HEEP'S new line up in the 90's. So no matter what the people said about Uriah Heep. In fact, Uriah Heep sold out their albums from 1969 until 1996 circa 120 million copies worldwide. The same case like Zeppelin and Deep Purple, Black Sabbath did. The new bloods in the band are not bad, the original keyboarder Ken Hensley has gone to perform his own solo, The original singer David Byron died in the 80's but the legacy is still alive until now.
The songs are excellent - masterpiece! need I say more?? The live sound in Münich germany is really damned good and excellent!

INCREDIBLE!.......2002-06-20

I actually held off on getting this album because I already had the three recent concert albums (Future Echoes Of The Past, Acoustically Driven and Electrically Driven) from which these new updated versions of classic Uriah Heep songs had been taken. I figured owning this one would be superflous. But removing the songs from a live venue into a studio-type performance gives them a new dimension, and this is one INCREDIBLE package of recordings by the current lineup of the band. It's a shame that this is such an obscure and hard-to-find release, because I defy any fan of classic rock to listen to this package and not consider it one of the greatest bands they've ever heard!
