NWOBHM London band with a heavy bluesy feel to it.  Absolutely killer material here, especially Cutting Loose, (the original version), and Killer Frog.  On the bluesy side, As Far as the Eye Can See and Can U See Me feature some awesome guitar work.

​

There is some controversy concerning the track Lone Wolf, so I will try to clarify with what I've been able to find on the internet.  The song was originally recorded by a band called The Shots, which featured vocals by a pre Maiden,  pre Samson Bruce Dickinson.  Apparently Xero's management (or the band), included it on the EP to increase sales.  Needless to say, Maiden's management made Xero's management withdraw the record.  The real question  is, is this Dickinson's version on the CDR I have or Xero's version of it?  I really can't tell, and I have 2 versions of it!  Neither one sounds much like Dickinson to me.

​

UPDATE:  received this comment from guitarist Bill Liesegang:

​

Must add that I was in The Shots with Bruce and recorded Lone Wolf with him (Just called “Loner” in fact) but neither me or anyone in Xero did in fact know that the record company was going to put the track with Bruce on our first single as a giveaway track! We were livid!!
