I just saw these guys last night at my local crappy little music venue. They started touring again recently and decided for god knows what reason to do their end of tour gig here in Colchester! Anyway, the show absollutely fucking rocked. They started off with a lot of newer tracks which were good but not great and they sliced up and altered some of there classics into new versions which werent as good as the originals but the show just got better and better as it went until eventually they came on for 2 encores of Am I Evil and The Prince which were absolutely awesome. These guys are getting old but Sean (the singer) was jumping around like a 20 yr old. One of the best frontmen ive seen. I REALLY wish Id been to the Bloodstock thing now.
 
Guys nice to see your comments on my favourite band.

The Colchester show was at the prompting of a guy called Simon who runs a record shop called Its Electric in Colchester. Sean & co have consciously rearranged some older songs to keep it interesting for them.

As for album recommendations, there are four original studio releases:

The White Album aka Lightning To The Nations
Borrowed Time
Canterbury
Death & Progress

White Album & Borrowed Time are by the original line up.
Canterbury is in a different style(s) rather than NWOBHM.
D&P was recorded 10 years on with guest apprearances by Tony Iommi & Dave Mustaine.

The current lineup will be recording later this year.
