Raven Wiped Out LP (Orange & Blue Smoke Vinyl)

Wiped Out, originally released in 1982, is Raven's second album, produced during the band's "Golden Age." By far their most energetic record, the album contains some of their finest work. This LP has been out of print until now! Deluxe packaging includes OBI strip, single jacket with one pocket, printed inner sleeve and blue smoke color vinyl with original record labels.

If you're a metalhead who has never experienced the bombastic, Judas Priest-influenced pleasures of Raven, it's best to cut to the chase and go directly to the British headbangers' most essential and enduring output. That means skipping Raven's inferior Atlantic work and starting out with its early recordings. 1981's Rock Til You Drop is Raven's best album, but 1982's Wiped Out...runs a close second.... [Y]ou're hearing a band that was very much in its prime and had yet to lose any of its freshness, imagination, or vitality.
