The band actually released this Sledgehammer shaped picture disc in 1984.
Cool logo, great single (Sledgehammer), hailed by Sounds as “one of the classics of the first generation of NWOBHM”, which, by the way was included in 1980's Metal for Muthas compilation LP, and their first gig was a support slot for Motorhead! What could go wrong? Apparently, just about everything. A 3 year absence between singles and their Blood On Their Hands album, roster changes, and the fact that none of their other material quite rose to the level of the 'Sledgehammer' single added up to Robscurity for this band.
