Notes
"This is a collection of sixteen previously unreleased Budgie tracks that were recorded between 1979 and 1985.
Many songs were written for what would have been their eleventh studio release. However, some did not get past the demo stage or were never completed as final recordings.
That aside, these recordings are a stunning insight into a band that certainly packed it in all too soon.
This recording certainly closes a chapter that Budgie fans across the globe have been waiting to hear for twenty years. Enjoy."

Reviews
This, for Budgie fans, is probably a let down for the amount of length they've waited for this release, but this album does show another side to Budgie that I don't mind myself. Good album, and compared to what's on YouTube, the sound quality is alright.- these are some very good early to mid 80s recording by budgie that began in 1979, glad to finally have all these tracks on one disc. budgies best era was from 1971 to 76, the 78 to 83 era was ok but the magic was back in the 70s for budgie......this comes with a great booklet w/ great liner notes as well. do not get me wrong!!! i always found something to like about EVERY BUDGIE record that was ever released as well as there 1980 to 83 NWOBHM bandwagon era..... RIP TO BURKE SHELLY.............
