Limelight - Limelight (Reissue) (1980/2012)

This very underrated British band came to prominence in 1980, during the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal era, although their distinctive and accomplished style of heavy music (and inclusion of several lengthly racks) had comparatively little in common with Tygers Of Pan Tang or Saxon style. Their sole, but excellent heavy progressive album (released privately in 1980 on tiny Future Earth Records) contained a solid dose of very energetic and uncompromising hard rock in?uenced not only by Led Zeppelin, Rainbow and Rush, but also inspired by the music of early Yes. At the time Limelight was probably the only heavy rock band in Britain with Mellotron! This remastered edition was extended by 4 rare tracks taken from two vinyl singles.
