A面曲がブートCD"NWOBHM VOL.8"に収録された Tractor が残した唯一の7"EP。B面曲はギタリストがスライド・バーを使った3連ブギー・タイプのノリの曲なので、NWOBHMファンにはアピールしそうにありません。A面曲の出来が素晴らしいだけに少々肩透かしをくらった感じですが、レーベルのデータを見ると'75年にレコーディングされていたのがわかります。

Part E Reprise


一枚の7"EPで消えたバンドかと思っていましたが、先日中古盤店のプログレ・コーナーを覗いていて発掘しましたっ! 2曲目にシングル曲が入っているので同じバンドに間違いないと入手して聴いてみると…。NWOBHMっぽいのはその2曲目のみで、後はプログレに分類されるのもわかる気がするテンポなんですが、所どころでは"Wish You Were Here"~"The Wall"の頃のPink Floyd にも通じるかのような音楽性があり、そしてあの英国特有の哀愁味もあるので、ある種拾い物的な一枚です。ブックレットのデータを見ると各楽曲のレコーディングが'71年から'91年の間に行われたものをコンパイルしたようで、かなり寿命の長いバンドだったようです。#9は21分以上にも及ぶ大曲。

"Kiss Of Death"

Kiss Of Death
c/w
Heads Will Roll

Trev Robinson
Steve Ramsey
Russ Tippins
Graeme English
Andy Reed

Recorded at Guadian Studios - December 1981
Produced by SATAN and Terry Gavaghan

オリジナル盤は500枚限定でリリースされました。これは Buried By Time And Dust からリリースされたアナログ盤『Into The Fire』に付属されたリイシュー7"EP。レーベル・デザインが Guardian のものから BBTAD のものに変更されているのが残念です。ラス・ティッピンズはラージ・ヘッド、メイプル指板、黒/黒PGのストラトキャスターを使用。JUDAS PRIEST のグレン・ティプトンがほぼ同じ仕様のギターをサブで使用(PUはディマジオ・スーパー・ディストーションに改造)していたのと関係があるのかどうか・・・もう一人のギタリスト、スティーヴはSGを使用。ネックがボディ側に入った80年代仕様のものですが、SGと言えばこれもやはりグレン・ティプトンのこの時期のトレード・マークでしたよね。


"Into The Fire Demo 1982"

(2006/Flashbakk Records FLAKCD9/Japan) Bootleg CDR

1. Into The Fire
2. Trial By Fire
3. Blades Of Steel
4. No Turning Back
5. Break Free
6. Pull The Trigger
7. The Ritual

「NWOBHM の雄、SATAN のデモテープ。バンドにとっての最初のデモ音源は、7インチシングル"Kiss Of Death"やコンピレーションLP ”Roxcalibur" として世に出されたが、ヴォーカルとドラムを交替させてのこの音源は、まさに名作 "Court In The Act" の暁光を見るかの内容である。まず注目すべきは曲順であり、特にA面は "Court In The Act" と全く同じであるのが分かるだろう。B面に関しても、"Pull The Trigger" を除けばアルバム収録曲が並んでいる。ヴォーカルは勿論、歌詞やフレーズなどの細部が微妙に異なりはすれど、基本的な部分は既に出来上がっており、NWOBHM 流儀のPOWER METAL に一点の澱みもない。まさに名作デモと呼んでも良いであろう。オリジナルは当然ながら、容易に入手可能な代物ではないが、幸い "NWOBHM TAPES" なるブートCDでも聴くことが出来る。」(以上、解説より)

チープなカラー・コピーのジャケット、そして安易なCDRには閉口してしまいますが、Flashbakk Records なるブート・メーカーは貴重な音源を数点リリースしていました。そしてブックレット内にある上記の日本語による解説から、このブート・メーカーが国内のものであることがわかります。個人的にはこのメーカーについてある程度、目星がついているのですがこれ以上書くとヤバいので…


"Court In The Act"

記念すべき SATAN の1stアルバム。ヴォーカルとドラムスが BLITZKRIEG のブライアン・ロス、ショーン・テイラーに変わっています。NWOBHM バンドはレーベルをまたぐことが結構ありましたが、当時としては Guardian から Neat へ移行したバンドというのは珍しいケースです。

音質はブートレッグ・レベルですが、ファンなら SATAN のライヴが聴けるというだけできっともう満足ものでしょう。#5、#12は BLITZKRIEG の曲。

Recorded from 9th-19th March 1987 at Firehouse Studios, London
Produced by Roy M Rowland

美しいツインGのハモりA1、部分的に様式美すら感じさせるA2、仕掛けが多くエンジェル・ウィッチの楽曲のようなA3、スラッシーなリフにデス声をコーラスに薄く活かし、レイヴン的アクロバティックな楽曲ながらも根底にしっかりとマイナー調をキープしたA4、『ペインキラー』時のジューダスを思わせるB1、速い3連曲のB2、アコギを導入部に取り入れたB3、完全にスピード・スラッシュ・メタル・チューンのB4と、充実の一枚。

Samson の2ndシングルは当時、Music Life誌で伊藤政則氏がロンドン土産としても紹介していました 。1stシングルの"Telephone"はヘヴィ・メタル度が低く、ピクチャー・スリーヴもイマイチだっただけに、この7"EPの出来栄えが相対的にもとても良くなっています。Drは後に IROM MAIDEN、プロジェクトのGOGMAGOG、そして ELIXIR の2ndアルバムで叩くクライヴ・バー、プロデュースは GILLAN のジョン・マッコイが担当しています。
