BOC: Sunday Times review

[Cyberkrel]

It was a live review in Sounds that startedd me off back then - when I read
about what the band did in ME-262, I just had to find more. First album I
got hold of was "Tyranny" which a friend had, as he'd cottoned onto the band
right from the start - and I was thrilled but a bit disappointed too - I
wanted more power but they were great songs - eventually getting the "On
Your Feet" album which Sounds hailed as a landmark double live album (at the
time the "double live album" was a metal band's requisite offering) and is
still hot to this day although I still think that's not powerful enough - a
fact confirmed when I saw the band support Kiss at Manchester - now THAT was
a night!!! I hope when they remaster the "On Your Feet" album - assuming
they do - that at last I'll have a great CD document of that era band live.
