Saxon: Rock The Nations (Deluxe Edition) CD

Saxon: Rock The Nations (Deluxe Edition)

                    
Saxon released their eighth studio album "Rock The Nations" on October 13, 1986. It was recorded at the Dutch Wisseloord Studios in Hilversum under the direction of Gary Lyons. Biff Byford, who coincidentally began his career as a singing bassist, recorded all the bass tracks on the album, but Paul Johnson is listed on the album as the bassist who joined the band shortly before its release. An unusual guest featured on Rock The Nations is Elton John, who plays piano on "Northern Lady" and "Party Til You Puke".
This version includes radio edits of the singles, some live B-sides and three tracks recorded by the BBC during Saxon's set at the '86 Reading Festival.
