Notes:
– Formed by brothers Kevin and Brian O’Shaughnessy in 1980. Since then and although there were a couple of short periods of inactivity, Seventh Son never actually split up but carried on with different line-up members
– Their official website mentions that a concert at Barnsley Civic Hall in November 1987 was filmed and released on video under the title ‘Alive by Night in Yorkshire’ but it is not clear if this was actually an official release.
– Appeared on the following compilations:
Torn In Two” (LP, Torment Records, 1986) with ‘Stage Crazy’
Eagleution – A Tribute To Saxon” (2CD, Remedy Records, 2005) with ‘Dallas 1 Pm’
The Roots Of Metallica” (CD, Rock Classics, 2010) with ‘Man In The Street’
