Signed! TYTAN Titan / Rought Justice Rough Justice (paper jacket CD+DVD)

Catalog number: RBNCD-1538

★Kevin Riddles autograph!

The legendary NWOBHM band "Titan"'s classic debut album is finally being reissued in paper jacket form with an original LP version and unreleased bonus tracks and bonus DVD!

``Rough Justice'' is the debut album by TYTAN, an important band that not only NWOBHM fans but also long-time metal fans should not miss. Even after 36 years have passed since the original release, this masterpiece is still timeless and includes a bonus track, as well as a rare live DVD.

TYTAN was formed in London by Kevin Riddles (b) and Dave Duford (dr), who left ANGEL WITCH in 1981 when NWOBHM was at its peak. Guitarist Steve Gibbs (guitar) and Cal Swan (vo), who would later join LION~BAD MOON RISING, joined in. Even before their live performance, the band attracted a lot of attention as a super band, with front-page features featured in "Kerrang!" and "Metal Hammer" magazines. Drummer Dave left the band before the album was recorded, and Les Binks, formerly of JUDAS PRIEST, joined. Simon Wright (dr/AC/DC, DIO), Steve Ma (MSG), Dave Harrison (DARK STAR), and Jodie Turner (ROCK GODDESS) participated in the recording. Despite some twists and turns, the album was completed by 1983. However, their label, Kamaflage Records, suddenly went bankrupt, leaving their release in limbo and the band faced the prospect of disbanding. The album was released two years later, in 1985, later than the Metal Masters label, which had acquired the rights to it, and although it recorded good sales as the NWOBHM boom was coming to an end due to its wonderful content, the band no longer existed, which was a very sad situation. Vocalist Cal Swan moved to LA and formed LION and BAD MOON RISING with guitarist Doug Aldridge, who later joined WHITESNAKE, and became particularly popular in Japan.

Although this work was not released in Japan at the time, it is a reprint of the 1982 live DVD (containing 14 songs) that came with it when it was first released in 2006, and in addition to four bonus tracks from the BBC radio session, it also includes demos of songs not included in the album. This is a grand reissue with a special 2-disc set + paper jacket!
