CUT ABOVE THE REST (CLEAR VINYL)

In late 1978 Ade Jones joined Raw Deal and contributed the bass lines to
the first documented material from which the song "Cut Above The Rest"
was lifted to appear on the much sought after "Kent Rocks" compilation LP,
released in 1981 by the White Witch record label that originated from a local
record shop. After the recordings and only but a few gigs, Ade was out of
the band, and Brian switched from rhythm guitar to bass. In 1981 Raw Deal
recorded two more originals; "Out Of My Head" and "In The Mood" that
were released as a 7" single by White Witch records in response to
enquiries about the band after their appearance on "Kent Rocks". With a
solid live reputation in place but a music scene that was 'saturated', and no
proper funds or promotion to lift the band to the next level, Raw Deal was at
the short end of the stick which eventually led to the demise of the band in
1982. High Roller Records has done the band justice and gathered a
selection of hidden gems, rehearsal tracks and previously released
material; all remastered, restored and put together in what is one 'prime cut'
of NWOBHM; enjoy!
