Saxon's landmark 1980 debut, Wheels Of Steel, captures the raw energy of New Wave Of British Heavy Metal at its peak. This expanded 45th Anniversary edition pairs the original studio album with a complete live performance from Monsters Of Rock, Donington (1980), offering a comprehensive portrait of the band's early power.
The studio side delivers twelve tracks of unrelenting heavy metal—from the galloping title track and "Motorcycle Man" to the infectious "747 (Strangers In The Night)" and the anthemic "Stand Up And Be Counted." The live recordings showcase Saxon's commanding presence, featuring extended versions of key cuts and rare performance captures that reveal the intensity driving their rise through the UK metal underground.
Essential for collectors and newcomers alike. Record Store Day exclusive.
