Think carefully and answer honestly: Wouldn’t have been better if “Wheels of steel” was Saxon’s début?
Let me rephrase the question:
How many songs of the self-titled album would you include in your own *Best of* compilation?
1, 2, more than 2? Do you see my point now?
Rating: ★6 out of 10 [Decent, but not essential]

Most excellent my friend! We all appreciate your efforts!
Excellent set of Remasters, brings back memories for me.
Thank you very much.
Sadly, I’m only missing this first album which has no working links for the FLAC version, a re-up would be much appreciated.
Thanks for the re-up, very fast done, perfect quality.
Thank you for the Saxon uploads!
I would actually include (on my own “Best of”) all songs except “Big teaser”. Of course the production isn’t that well on this first album, but it’s a very promising start. I like it.
Great work! The majority of the mp3-sites only have the original issues without the bonus tracks.
Thanks!
