TWISTED SISTER's Under The Blade' To Be Reissued As Lavish CD/DVD Package - May 4, 2011
Eagle Rock Entertainment will release the landmark metal debut of 1982, "Under The Blade" by TWISTED SISTER, on May 31. The CD — originally produced by Pete Way of UFO — will also contain four tracks from their 1982 "Ruff Cuts" EP (never before available on CD) as well as "Shoot 'Em Down", an '82 live track from England's prestigious Reading Festival. The lavish package features the original "Under The Blade" cover, which has not appeared on any domestic versions of the album until now, and reflects the original Secret Records track list and remastered audio mix.
The DVD contains the entire previously-unreleased Reading concert. Vocalist Dee Snider, guitarists Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda, bassist Mark Mendoza and drummer A.J. Pero gave the crowd something they had not exactly ever seen before. It was, for all intents and purposes, a coming-out affair for this great band. They play as if their life depends upon it. They play as if they have something to prove. And they did. They're young, hungry, determined and wind up headbanging with a desperate ferocity usually reserved for those kinds of life-altering performances that make a band. This is one of those performances. The set concludes with a show-stopping version of "It's Only Rock 'N' Roll" as the band jams out with Pete Way and MOTÖRHEAD's Fast Eddie Clarke and Lemmy! The DVD also includes 40 minutes of newly shot interviews with the band about the recording of "Under The Blade" and the Reading Festival.
French joined the band SILVER STAR, a New Jersey-based "glitter band" in December 1972. The group, whose original purpose was to be the New Jersey version of the NEW YORK DOLLS, changed their name to TWISTED SISTER on Valentine's Day 1973. The band, however, continually changed lineups and didn't take off until Snider joined in 1976. The lineup didn't fully coalesce until 1982 with the final addition of drummer A.J. Pero.
"Under The Blade" first came out on an independent U.K.-based label called Secret Records, but really gained momentum when Atlantic Records released a different mix of the album nationally in 1985 while taking advantage of the bands newly minted stardom. Their meteoric ascent came in tandem with the simultaneous rise of MTV. This version you now have in your hands is the most requested and sought after. The new digital remastered original mix of "Under the Blade".

Location: Chicago | Awesome! Been waiting for this! It's a little interesting that the article states that it will have the original artwork from the Secret Records release but the picture in the article is the US remastered version. Either way, can't wait for this one. Just checked Amazon and it's not listed there. Hopefully they'll get it on there soon. |

| While excited, I miss the days of albums. I'll never forget the day when I bought Ruff Cutts at Record World. There was nothing like holding that album in your hands while the record was playing! |

Yeah, it's got the US re-issue cover from '85 shown on Amazon. Hopefully it's actually the original cover as stated in the write up. I'm going to assume that this is it though, since it's listed as having 2 discs. |

| Is anybody else ridiculously excited about the Reading '82 DVD? FINALLY... a pro-shot video from '82. Now I'm just wondering when the Northstage '82 video will be released which Mark and Jay Jay posted about on here 1 year ago.

Count me in! I can't wait!!!!! The remaster will be great to hear but the real reason I'll picking up my 9th version (I'm not kidding about that! I counted them! LOL!) of "Under the Blade" is because of this DVD! |
