Kingdom Of Madness

Remastered CD re-release of the original 1978 debut album. CD2 has extra material which is partly single B-sides and partly the songs that were originally meant for release on the debut album, but replaced by others. Comes with the first and original album art. The credits are actually wrong. Bob Catley is credited as playing lead guitar and doing backing vocals, while he was the lead vocalist of the band. The booklet contains an interview with Tony Clarkin especially held for the re-release of this album.
