Budgie – Live in Los Angeles, 1978 (12-Inch Album on 180g Vinyl)

This album showcases Budgie’s electrifying set, recorded live at A&M Recording Studios, in Los Angeles, on 30 April 1978, during the Impeckable Tour.

Featured tracks include Breadfan, In the Grip of a Tyrefitter’s Hand, Melt the Ice Away, In for the Kill, Breaking All the House Rules and more.

Budgie are considered one of the earliest heavy metal bands, known for their dark, blues-infused sound built from gloomy melodies and fierce guitar riffs. The Welsh hard rockers have been a seminal influence on countless metal bands, particularly those associated with new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM), and later acts such as Metallica.
