Notes:
– The band was meant to release a CD with the Greek label “Obscure NWOBHM Releases” (cat# ONR005) in 2005/6 but the deal never came through. Fortunately this finally happened in 2020 by High Roller Records
– Included in the compilation “Metal Warriors” (LP, Ebony Records, 1983) with the track ‘Ophelia’
– You MUST listen to the track Witch Daughter as it is easily among the TOP NWOBHM tunes ever!
