recorded in 1979 at Phase One Studios in Toronto. Produced by Steven Madden & Paul Gross of SAGA fame. Phase Ones Legendary clientèle included early Triumph, Surrender, Alfie Zappacosta, and Max Webster albums. Released worldwide in 1979 on the prestigious Harvest/EMI/Capitol label it received serious accolades from many European Rock/Metal magazines such as Kerrang, Sounds Magazine, New Musical Express and Bravo. Many heavy metal connoisseurs still feel this was the definitive Reckless record. From time to time on eBay youll find copies of the original album going for outrageous $$ – its a freaking collectors item!!
“Victim Of Love”is the absolute gem. You will never want to part from this. I remember the frst time I heard the delights of ‘Victim Of Time’ literally blasting out of the radio on the Friday Rock Show all those years back and rushing out to find the 7” the next morning. ‘Victim Of Time’ is still a major rock out, even by todays standards and is a fine song indeed, showing the band at their meanest.
This disc (similar to Girlschool, Helix, King Kobra, Mamas Boys, Rock Goddess, The Runaways), does add up to is a tour de force of huge proportions and even nearly 30 years on after its initial release, it still holds up as a quite brilliant, criminally overlooked piece of music history, that people now have a chance to hear again in all its glory.


I own four records by three bands from three different countries – all of them called Reckless.   This particular Reckless hails from Ottawa, Canada and serves up classic female-fronted melodic-metal freeze-packed with meaty riffs and big melodic hooks. Loads of variety here – from moody head-bangers to sun-kissed radio rockers to hard-edged #AOR stunners. The guitar-work is absolutely fantastic.

I remember the first time I heard the delights of ‘Victim Of Time’ literally blasting out of the radio on the Friday Rock Show all those years back and rushing out to find the LP the next morning. Don’t be put off the the cover I told myself, when I finally found it and preceded to blast the hell out of it for the coming weeks, once I had got it home. ‘Victim Of Time’ is still a major rock out, even by todays standards and is a fine song indeed, showing the band at their meanest. In stark contrast, is  ‘All Night Woman’. Unfortunately, the Reckless album was not followed up by a second disc with the same line up, which is a real shame.
