50th anniversary edition, clear vinyl.
The track "Caviar and Meths" was originally a 14-minute epic penned by Halford's predecessor, Al Atkins, but due to time constraints, only the intro was recorded for the album. A longer version of the song appears on original vocalist Al Atkins's 1998 album Victim of Changes; though not the full-length version, it is notably longer at seven minutes.
"Dying to Meet You" includes the older song "Hero Hero".
Many reissues of this album have another wrong splitting of the tracks "Winter", "Deep Freeze" and "Winter Retreat" starting and stopping at different places:
3. Winter (01:42)
4. Deep Freeze (01:20)
5. Winter Retreat (03:28)
Different versions of each track can be found on the 1981 Hero, Hero compilation which was remixed by Rodger Bain.
Recording information:
Recorded at Olympic, Trident and Island Studios, London, between June - July 1974.
