„Roadkill“ is the only professional live recording of Manilla Road from
the eighties, now available for the first time in full length, restored and
remastered.
In 1987, when the live album „Roadkill“ was released via Black Dragon
Records, it was not completely flawless, despite its excellent musical
content. Only in 2018 bassist Phil Ross found a tape containing the entire
show in the basement of Mark Shelton. It was in amazing condition and was
restored and remastered by Neudi. It contains even seven songs that did
not make it to „Roadkill“. With this gem, the band decided to release the
full-length „Roadkill Tapes“.
The second CD „Rarities“ is basically self-explanatory. Phil Ross and Neudi
kept on ransacking the cellar of their bandleader looking for unpublished
material. Some of the song recordings they found, mostly live or in the
rehearsal room, have already been used for past re-releases on Golden Core
/ ZYX as bonus-tracks. Now we proudly present all previously unreleased
recordings. In addition, fans can look forward to two songs from the debut
album „Invasion“ (1980) found on the original master tape. The finale is a
bootleg recording of „Necropolis“ at the Bang Your Head Festival in 2000 -
the group‘s memorable first European show.
The double CD has already caused a stir when it was announced in social
media, especially since it is not a typical re-release. In collaboration with
the two ex-drummers Rick Fisher and Randy Foxe, who also contributed liner
notes, the ultimate conclusion of the re-release series was set with material
from the first two classical casts.
The term „Holy Grail“ already makes the rounds!
