TANK "War Of Attrition Live - Expanded Edition" CD Maniacal
"War Of Attrition" was released in 2000 by an unserious british label which
didn't care at all about distribution. Maniacal gave it a decent re-release
and added seven bonustracks. This cd is divided in five parts. First one
is the eight tracks recorded live at Dortmund (Germany) in 1981. Judging
by the atmosphere and the power unleashed by the band, it seems it was an
awesome concert where TANK played their classic bombs ("Schellshcok", "Run
Like Hell", "Don't Walk Away", "Stormtrooper" ...). Second one is three demos
tracks from 1980 (originally the demo had five tracks) presenting first raw
versions of "Shellshcok", "Run Like Hell" and "Blood, Guts And Beer". Third
one is three tracks recorded for a radio session, including "Hammer On" and
"Heavy Artillery". Fourth one is two tracks recorded live in holland in 1982.
The last part is two demos tracks with the arrival on guitars of Mick Tucker
and Cliff Evans ("Too Tired To Wait For Love" and "Man Who Never Was" that
the band will record for the "Honour And Blood" lp). So, as you can see it,
if you worship the early days of TANK, this cd is essential.
