DEMON PACT "EATEN ALIVE" - 1981 NWOBHM NEW SLIME SINGLE

	£		61
	$		81

This is the original single by Demon Pact on the (British) Slime label, "Eaten Alive" c/w "Raiders", on PACT 1, issued in 1981 with a picture sleeve. This four-piece band, from Hayes & Bromley in Kent, is regarded as one of the "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" (NWOBHM), and this single has become a much sought-after collector's item over the years.

This is a guaranteed original NEW record from the label's owner, who is also the sole legal copyright holder of all Demon Pact recordings - my name is clearly shown on the original sleeve indicating this. This is one of the very few remaining new copies in a perfect sleeve.

Note that all other Demon Pact items, other than the one track on the "Kent Rocks" original album, are bootlegs and will not be allowed by this seller to be offered through eBay or elsewhere.

It is to my annoyance (and even more so to the Dickerson brothers) that numerous references to Demon Pact on the internet show the wrong line-up for these two tracks, although the picture shows the correct band members. These are, from left to right, Alan Dickerson (bass), Richard Dickerson (guitar), Iain Finlay (drums), Donald Meckiffe (vocals). This line-up is correct for ALL Demon Pact studio recordings.

Click here for the aborted Demon Pact CD release. It was my intention to issue these studio recordings some time ago, but s**t happens. The titles shown are the correct ones - the full title for track 3 & 8 is "Ain't No Woman Made A Fool Out Of Me". There are also some interesting live recordings.

All members of the band are proud of the interest being shown in their work, and thank everybody out there for keeping the music alive. In answer to requests for tapes, mp3s, CD-Rs, etc. (the answer is no, by the way) all suitable Demon Pact recordings will be officially issued in due course, using unseen photographs and other artwork from the time when the band were active in the early 1980s.

Finally, I am grateful to another eBayer (obsesso) who recently sold one of these singles, for the use of his enthusiastic description: "This is probably my favorite NWOBHM single - to me DEMON PACT were just right on!! The art, great. The layout/label/photo - great. Then there's what's in the grooves - could it possibly match the expectations I had from the sleeve and packaging - it DID!! "Eaten Alive" has a great ripping guitar sound and classic theme/lyrics/chorus, it's just the way it was meant to be! Then on the B-side we have "Raiders" which is another crunchy blaster! As 'the dealer' would have said, and I can say it no better, this bad boy is a certified BARN BURNER!!!! There are hundreds of NWOBHM singles that get hyped to death and are much rarer (most of the time the music doesn't match the hype), but to me none match up to this one as a total package - this is KILLER ALL AROUND!! THIS IS AN ESSENTIAL RECORD!!!"
