I have been searching for this album for years. It is called Masters Of Metal and some of the tracks on it are:
The Trooper - Iron Maiden
Ace of Spades - Motorhead
Spirit of the Radio - Rush
Fast as a shark - ?
Tragedy - ?
I only have a very dodgy taped copy and would give good money for an original copy....anybody help? I've tried some of the usual websites without much success. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Cheers
Rachel

Have a word with the HMV store at The Merry Hill Shopping Centre - 01384 78990 (West Midlands).

They have just found a very elusive album for me, and they could have not been more helpful :D

Richard

DJ,

Defo a commercial compilation and I am sure I remember it as Masters of Metal although I suppose I could have that wrong,but it was certainly something like that. I think it would date back to the early to mid eighties.....jesus that seems like an age ago.

I am very grateful for your help though. I have just remembered that Fast as a shark was by Accept and another track on there was called War Machines....Oh and Breaking the Law by Judas Priest.

Cheers

Rachel

found it here

No track listing though. You'll have to check the cd numbers.

Theres a few albums called Masters Of Metal, none seem to match though . . .

Cheers for all your help, I think I'm just gonna have to put up with the tape I've got and keep trawling the 2nd hand record shops.
Its an ex that I copied the tape from so I know he has an original but I don't think hubby will be too pleased if I looked him up just for a 'poxy metal crap album'(his words). Ahh well......

Cheers again guys,

Rachel

You could always post up the songs and get people to send you copies.
I can do The Trooper.

Wow I had that album on tape :)

Best track was Man O'War's Metal Daze :D That song was well cool :)

Hanslow,

That IS the album - thank god someone else remembered it I was doubting my own sanity. I do have a copy of it but its not a great one and I would dearly love to get my mitts on an original tape. If you email me your address I'll record the copy I've got and bung it in the post to you. Oh and your'e spot on with Metal Daze!!:D You forget just how good the tracks on this compilation are!!!!

Cheers

Rachel

Rachel if you can write down the tracks we can find and download them for you...
......Nice people to do business with :):):):);)


Do you remember Saxon...747 (strangers in the night) Superb Track

Cheers Beastie,

I'll have to sit down and try to remember titles and bands. Oh god thats not as easy as it sounds!!

Yes, I do remember that Saxon track - excellent !!!:D

Talking about some of this stuff brings back some memories don't it? Motorhead in Southampton, Iron Maiden @ Donnington, Jethro Tull in Portsmouth, Basingstoke....I could go on!!! Oh yes - music played on real instruments live.... and very loud !!!:):)

Rachel

Rachel, YHM :D:cool::D

Hanslow,

Cheers for the link to Steamhead, I've emailed him to check track listing a price so fingers crossed!!:)
It is an LP and I don't have a record player but at the moment thats a small detail (need a new system anyway!!):D

Is all goes to plan I'll have to get my Bro to copy it to disc.

Thanks again.

Rachel

Rachel......Dont forget copies for the rest of us too :):):)

No problem... email your address to me and as soon as I've got it sorted, a copy will be in the post.:D:D

"Underneath the bodies burning. As the war machine keeps turning" :cool:

Steve,
Cheers for the email - It IS a good album you are soooo right !!:D

Thanks for filling in the gaps, as soon as I read them I started to remember - always the way - can't believe that I didn't recall the Scorpions and Black Sabbath !! Still, really need to find out who sang Tragedy as it is one of my favorites. Someone must know....? And no, it is not Abba or Steps OK !!:)

Enjoy :)

Rachel

Found it - Tragedy was by Hanoi Rocks !!! My life is complete......and just to make my day even sweeter the album is on its way from Germany!!Hoorahh Now all I need is a record player to play it on............:D:D:D

Nice one :D Glad you got it sorted.....

Hanoi Rocks...heard the name, never heard any of their music (apart from Tragedy obviously :)). Glad you worked it out cos I never would have!

Are you sure of the title "Masters of Metal" ? I've searched the online CD databases and drawn a blank with the tracks you mentioned.

Could be a non-commercial CD, such as a magazine freebie or something ? :confused:

Maybe a personal compilation ?

If I remember rightly, Fast As A Shark was by Accept (god I'm showing my age now!). That was where my tape got chewed up so it went all smurfs :D

If you do get hold of it, can you let me know cos I would love a copy/listen to it again :D

There's a chap selling the album (think it's vinyl, not CD) here http://www.steamhead.de/sampler.htm about half way down the page. Looks like he wants 5 Euros if I read it right. Might be able to give you the code off the sleeve though.....
