Various Artists: SPV 25 & Alive
German label SPV was founded way back in 1984 and has grown to be one of the leading independent labels and distributors worldwide. A little under twelve months ago the label hit financial difficulties and filed for insolvency but this as this latest compilation demonstrates SPV is very much back with us and alive again and marking a quarter of a century.
An expansive two disc set there a some choice selections here from stalwart British acts such as Saxon, Magnum UFO and Glenn Hughes together with some prime European hard rock and Metal acts, Accept and Doro amongst them. In fact this really is a "global" release with the likes of Rose Tattoo, Iced Earth and Ripper Owens also getting in on the act.
So this value for money set represents a warm welcome back for SPV and here's to the next 25 years!
