Top LP by a promising band. Lawrence Archer is a great guitarist even as young as he is here. They sound a lot like UFO. Big surprise since he joined them later on. The recording is well done.

Emerging from the new wave of the British heavy metal scene of the early ’80s, London based quartet Stampede acquired a loyal and fervent following and in 1982, a major label contract with Polydor. Fronted by vocalist Rueben Archer and son-in-law guitarist Lawrence Archer, the band garnered acclaim for a volatile mixture of energetic heavy rock and an ear for both melody and precision. Lawrence Archer in particular, earned great acclaim for his innovative and exciting guitar playing (he would later form Grand Slam with Phil Lynott). Issued in 1983, Hurricane Town propelled the band to the forefront of the hard rock battlefield earning welcome comparisons to other great British institutions such as UFO, Thin Lizzy, Saxon and Iron Maiden.
5.0 out of 5 stars Stampede-Official Bootleg,
A really good disc by a promising band. Lawrence Archer is a great guitarist even as young as he is here. They sound a lot like UFO (he joined them later on).
5.0 out of 5 stars Finally got it!
The recording is well done
