Saxon / Eagles and Dragons vinyl box

British rock group Saxon, one of the so-called ‘New Wave of British Heavy Metal Bands’ to emerge in the late 1970s, will next month issue Eagles and Dragons, a nine-LP vinyl box set of studio albums released between 1991 and 2009.

The records in question are Solid Ball Of Rock (1991), Forever Free (1992),  Dogs of War (1995), Unleash The Beast (1997), Metalhead (1999), Killing Ground (2001), Lionheart (2004), The Inner Sanctum (2007), and Into The Labyrinth (2009). These are pressed on 180g vinyl and presented in a hand-numbered outer slipcase which features a specially-commissioned, brand new cover painting by Saxon’s artist-in-residence, Paul Gregory.

In fact, if you choose to pre-order from Demon Music’s official store, the first 500 copies come with with a framable print of the cover, signed by Saxon’s frontman Biff Byford. Only 100 left at the time of writing!

Eagles and Dragons will be released on 25 March 2016.
