CDs 1 \u0026amp; 2 cover multiple eras of the band, from their beginnings as one of the leading acts of the NWOBHM movement, right up to the present day. CD3 features a rare early live set, captured in all it's raw and rough edged glory, at the Earthquake Festival, Holland in 1984. CD4 includes a whopping 14 unreleased songs, personally curated by Andy Boulton from his enormous archive of unused Blade material. Hailing from Wiltshire, and formed in 1982, Tokyo Blade were initially considered part of the NWOBHM scene but quickly outgrew the tag, enduring over the course of 14 studio albums and 5 EPs. Producing genuine early classics such as their self-titled debut and follow up 'Night of the Blade', the band went through multiple line-up changes over the years and yet continued to enjoy the support of the metal community and diehard fans across the globe. 'Beware The Blade' includes brand new contemporary interviews with band leader Andy Boulton and longtime Blade vocalist and songwriting partner Alan Marsh, conducted by NWOBHM historian and author John Tucker. The booklet also includes rare photo material from the band's personal archives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidnight Rendezvous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMean Streak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowergame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeath on Main Street\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf Heaven Is Hell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighway Passion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunrise in Tokyo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight of the Blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Struck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarrior of the Rising Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightning Strikes (Straight Through the Heart)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMadam Guillotine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake It Through the Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlackhearts ; Jaded Spades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonkey's Blood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStealing the Thief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToo Much Too Soon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChains of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriend in Need\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot Breath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlashpoint Serenade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore Than a Pretty Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoman and Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Revolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStory of a Nobody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife Leaves a Scar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKill Me Till I'm Dead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlood Red Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Bleed Over Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoth to the Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntro (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowergame (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMean Streak (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreak the Chains (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeath on Main Street (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiar (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidnight Rendezvous (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMadam Guillotine (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf Heaven Is Hell (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnleash the Beast (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunrise in Tokyo (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKiller City (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight of the Blade (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast of the Renegades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine in the Sand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerenade in Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShout at the Dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Dying Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidnight Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho's Laughing Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard Getting Over You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSave a Bullet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold Your Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShadows in the Rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDead Forever After\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Weeping Wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5013929026162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dissonance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Revival Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53235183419552,"sku":"5013929026162","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/5899\/5360\/files\/4455876-3446838.jpg?v=1770371052","url":"https:\/\/vinylrevivalrecordstore.com\/products\/tokyo-blade-beware-the-blade-classic-rare-unreleased-83-25-cd","provider":"Vinyl Revival Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
