Avenger formed in 1982 with core members Mick Moore, Brian Ross and Gary Young, following the dissolution of their previous band Blitzkrieg. They released the classic 'Too Wild To Tame' 7" on Neat Records before Ross left and joined the band Satan. The band released two full length albums and toured Europe and the US before splitting in 1986. For a short while the band included in its ranks one David Walls, later to find success as Ginger Wildheart. This release is bolstered with the addition of several bonus tracks including an unreleased live version of fan favourite 'N.O.T.J.' and two unreleased tracks from their 1983 demo, taken from Mick Moore's personal archive. The entire L'Amour's live show is previously unreleased. In addition, the booklet features a new extensive in depth interview with band leader and bassist Mick Moore by NWOBHM historian John Tucker. Moore supplied many unseen photos also included from his personal archive.
