British Steel — 1980

The album that streamlined heavy metal into anthems, from 'Breaking the Law' to 'Living After Midnight'. Tight and iconic. A genre cornerstone. Not their most famous record, but one of their most consistent.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes.
