BOMBS AWAY
c/w
BACK TO ME

PRODUCED BY TOM MULLALLEY and JOHN SULLIVAN

NWOBHM において TROJAN というバンドは二つ存在していました。一つはマンチェスターの、そしてもう一つがこのアイルランドの。

両面ともに転調を活用した疾走感ある素晴らしい楽曲です♪

バンドはコンピレーション『Green Metal』（1985/Metal Masters METALPS 197/UK）に"Soldiers Song"、"Charge Of The Night Brigade"、『Metal Warrior』（1987/Metalother Records OTH 9/UK）に"Back To Me"、『The Last Warrior』（1987/Metalother Records /UK）に"Bombs Away"をそれぞれ提供し、アルバム『The March Is On』（1988/G.I. Records）を残しています。

IAN DICK - guitar
STEVE BARLOW - bass
STEVE TAYLOR - drums & vocals

Recorded at Spaceward, Cambridge.
Produced by Mike Kemp,
executive producer Andy Waller.

当時はダサいと感じた SOLDIER でしたが、経年変化してなぜかダサかっこよくなってしまった典型です。両面ともに『N.W.O.B.H.M. Metal Rarities Vol.3』（◎1997/British Steel/UK）で聴くことができます。『Heavy Metal Heroes』（1981/Heavy Metal Records/UK）には"Storm Of Steel"が収録されています。

Nick Lashley's guitar parts recorded at his home Pro Tools studio in L.A.

カリフォルニアでマスタリングされたミニ・アルバム。'82年の7"EPから22年を経てもなお、ダサかっこいいストレートな曲のエッセンスがバンドの持ち味です。

『N.W.O.B.H.M. ENCYCLOPEDIA』のMalc Macmillanの記述によると SHYWOLF なのですが、レコード盤面のレーベルからすると、もしかしたらこのバンド名の正しい表記は SHY WOLFと間にスペースが入るのかも知れません。
B面曲は VAN HALEN の"You Really Got Me"にそっくりなリフが微笑ましいですｗ

当時、この超かっこいいジャケットから、楽曲もさぞやかっこいいだろうと期待して聴いてヴォーカルにコケましたｗ　でもこれはNWOBHMバンドにはよくあるパターンｗ　そしてそんな思い出の詰まったNWOBHM初期のこの7"EPは忘れがたいものがあります。
