- 2 Albums on 1 CD from these 80's Metallers. This new package features re-mastered discs, new notes by respected journalist Dave Ling who has interviewed founder member Boulton for the notes that go to make up the enhanced booklet. Black Hearts and Jaded Spades and Aint Misbehavin, both recorded in the 1980s they reflect the bands attempt at crossing over to a more melodic style, critically well received at the time these reissues tell the story of the band at that time.
'80s heavy metallists Tokyo Blade have been through numerous line up changes during their career, but their only constant throughout it all was founding member Andy Boulton (guitar). First going by such names as White Diamond, Killer, and Genghis Khan, the group eventually settled on Tokyo Blade, and premiered in the early '80s. Tokyo Blade issued their debut recording in 1984 (which was self-titled in the United Kingdom, and titled Midnight Rendezvous everywhere else), featuring the line-up of Alan Marsh (vocals), Andy Wrighton (bass), John Wiggins (guitar), and Steve Pierce (drums), in addition to Boulton.
