Spear Of Destiny - The Best Of. Dble CD. (Recall 2CD/Snapper - SMDCD146) 2 CD set that compiles 20 songs from this criminally underrated and at times masterful 80s post punk act. Maybe a little too big, bellicose and shouty for some, but with an ear for drama and melody that few shared, SOD on their day were unbeatable. All the hits are here- 'The Wheel' 'Grapes Of Wrath' 'Rainmaker' 'Never Take Me Alive' 'Radio Radio' 'Strangers In Our Town' 'Liberator' 'Land Of Shame' 'Mickey' etc. A Kirk up the Eighties.

Spear Of Destiny - Sods Law. CD. (Snapper - SMMCD 512) The sixth studio album by this band led by Kirk Brandon ex-Theatre of Hate. Regarded by many as the bands best album it features remastered sound and three bonus tracks.

Spear Of Destiny - In Concert- Do You Belive In The Westworld?. Dble CD + DVD. (Recall Box/Snapper - SBOX014) Three disc set of much-underrated and undervalued 80s rockers led by Kirk Brandon, whose mixture of goth, punk, pop, ska, Celtic folk and metal, always topped off by anguished vocals and impassioned lyrics, was one of the most exciting things about the post punk era, even if the NME-approved version of history would have you believe otherwise. Disc 1 is from the peak of the band's fame, at the Town and Country Club (aka Forum) in 1988 on the 'Outland' tour, Disc 2 dates from much later in 1997 in the months leading up to 'Religion' with a revised, much heavier lineup, and disc 3 is an interview with the man himself. Packaged in a clam box with an eight-page booklet, this should remind a few of you how great the band were on their day, and how much everyone else from New Model Army to those shameless charlatans U2 nicked from them. Come back, all is forgiven. . .

Spear Of Destiny - Best Of. Dble CD. (Snapper - SMMCD 512) Double CD collection by this band formed by Kirk Brandon ex Theatre Of Hate.

Spear Of Destiny - The Sessions. CD.
