I loved early Raven because they were everything that NWOBHM were all about. Loud and raw with buckets of energy, but they had a unique element of fun about everything they did.
This EP came out just after the release of the band’s second album, Wiped Out and the song titles alone should bring a smile to your face: Crash, Bang, Wallop (Men’s Lib Protest Song) and Run Them Down (Dedicated To Italian Motorists). The production is as raw as it gets but I love it nonetheless.
Happy days!
7.5/10 from The Grooveman.
