Description:

The original melodic power metal band from Sweden, "Blacksmith", a hidden hero of Scandinavian metal, has released their debut 12" single with 4 songs from 1985 and a 7" single from their second release in 1986. The second release was a 7" single from 1986, and a demo tape was added to make it into an album. The title "The Early Years 83-86" printed on the jacket of the earlier import version has been changed to "The Early Years 83-86" and the jacket has been reissued faithfully to the original version. The CD jacket design of the original single version has been used for the inner CD sleeve, and the sound quality of the CD version, which was honestly disappointing due to its muddy sound quality, has been remastered with a much improved sound quality. In addition, the demo tape of the bonus track has been corrected to the correct pitch, and is now available in a completely definitive version!
