Imperiet: Rymdimperiet (Rem) [Vinyl LP]

180 gram vinyl.

Neil Young opens his archive and release Hitchhiker, an unreleased new studio album. The 10-track acoustic solo album was recorded in Malibu, CA at Indigo Studio in 1976. The original session was produced by Young's long-time studio collaborator David Briggs.<br/> <br/>Recorded between Zuma and American Stars and Bars as a solo album in a single session, the resultant performances are truly breathtaking and passionate. The simplicity of a single voice and guitar captured here is as pure and powerful as it gets, with only Young, Briggs and actor Dean Stockwell in the room at the time of recording. A few of the songs would not appear on vinyl until years later. Some have never been heard, included in the original sessions for Neil Young and Crazy Horse's Dume, another unreleased record of original sessions that yielded the classic album, Zuma. When the Hitchhiker album was recorded, none of the included songs had ever been released and many of the performances of the songs were the first ever. This is truly an album of original performances.

BMG are proud to release this deluxe anthology that looks back at the years which built the Saxon legend. Spanning their first nine albums 'Decade Of The Eagle' is the very best of the first decade of their astonishing career. This anthology represents the sweep and scope of what Saxon have achieved. <br/><br/>They were certainly a core part of the whole NWOBHM movement, perhaps the greatest metal genre of them all, but moved beyond this to become one of the all-time masters of heavy metal. But in doing so, Saxon have also ensured they are now representative of the heart and soul from the NWOBHM time. They have done this by remaining true to the values which established them in the first place. Driven by a desire to continuously set the highest standards and meet them head on, Saxon's work on those nine studio albums still resonates resoundingly. From 'Rainbow Theme', the opening track on that debut, to 'Red Alert', the closing song on 'Destiny', this is timeless stuff. Music that will continue to inspire metalheads for generations to come, as it has influenced so may up until now. In those immortal words, fill your heads with... HEAVY METAL THUNDER!
