Strong Arm of the Law

2009 digitally remastered and expanded edition of the British Metal band’s third album originally released in 1980. Strong Arm of the Law was their second album to be produced by the band in association with Pete Hinton at Ramport Studios. Opening with the self-explanatory ‘Heavy Metal Thunder’, like it’s predecessor Wheels of Steel, Strong Arm of the Law features many tracks that have remained staples of Saxon’s live set to the present day. Strong Arm of the Law now includes the complete 1982 Kid Jensen B15 session, recorded live in the studio for BBC Radio 1 and new mixes taken from the original 24 track tapes of ‘To Hell And Back Again’, ‘20,000 Feet’ and ‘Heavy Metal Thunder’. It also features two previously unreleased songs in ‘Mandy’ (an early working version of ‘Sixth Form Girls’, plus the jokey, off-the-cuff ‘Mule Train’. It also features rare memorabilia and extensive liner notes by Classic Rock and Metal Hammer writer Jerry Ewing, written in co-operation with lead singer Biff Byford.
