NWOBHM BURIED TREASURE
2014年2月3日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Having seen this most overlooked of NWOBHM bands live on numerous occasions in the 80's I have been yearning for this to come out on CD for years.
It's a quality album and still stands up to scrutiny over 30 years after its release.
Amazing guitar playing from Mike Scrimshaw and a great vocal performance from his brother Glenn with a cacophony of drums and percussion from drummer pat Coleman.
Although coming to prominence during the NWOBHM it is fair to say that the songs are more traditional fare , similar to Wishbone Ash or Rainbow rather than Iron Maiden or Saxon, maybe that's why they still sound so good today.
This album has been unavailable for years in the UK so enjoy it while you can , i'm sorry to say that their newer material which was to feature in the rumoured second album that has never surfaced was even better , maybe if the band are reading this they'll scrape together some old recordings and get them out there?
I live in hope.
Quality stuff from a quality band.

Proggy NWOBHM.
2016年2月5日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Can barely remember Limelight from the good old days so welcome to stumble on to this reissue. Limelight definitely different from the bluegeon roffola NWOBHM with a proggy/pomp leaning amongst the rocky stuff and sublime guitar work.
Bits of UFO, Wishbone Ash, Rush, Styx can be heard in to give their work plenty of variety. A very pleasurable listen from a band which disappeared without trace bar this single album. Such a pity there was no more.
Going Home crunches away with the big sound and nice melodic undertones. Man of Colours and Don’t Look Back give the longer, proggier pieces and it’s all great. Glenn Scrimshaw shines on guitar with some fine mazy runs not unlike Ted Turner and (yes, I’m going to say it) Michael Schenker.
Listen to Ashes to Ashes for example – Limelight could have written in for UFO.
For something a little different from what you may be expecting, don’t let Limelight pass you by.
And to cement the prog connection – Scrimshaw plays a spot of mellotron too. Marvellous stuff.

First off, I wish to acknowledge that all of my research for this review came from "the NWOBHM Encyclopedia" by Malc Macmillan (2001), an indispensable reference guide for everyone as captivated by this bygone era of music as I am.
Now, onto the review:
Whereas many (if not the majority of) young New Wave of British Heavy Metal upstarts formed in 1979 (or thereabouts), just as the principle "dam began to burst" for the scene, Nottinghamshire's Limelight were a notable exception to the rule, as they had in reality already been together in one form or another for well over ten years before they ever even released a record. With the alliance of the Scrimshaw brothers -- Mike on bass/vocals and Glenn on lead guitar -- forming the core of the group, they stormed onto the scene in 1980 at the height of the movement, releasing one single to first test the waters. Having signed to a tiny private label (South Yorkshire's Future Earth Records), the trio (completed by drummer Pat Coleman) re-emerged later on in that year with their self-titled full-length and the album being reviewed.
Since these guys were presumably a good deal older than many of their much younger NWOBHM counterparts, it makes sense that they would still have one foot planted firmly in the pomp and grandeur of all the best '70s rock, with perhaps Rainbow and Rush being the primary influences (as the liner notes point out). Despite their progressive leanings, however, in another way, they fit in like a glove in the at-the-time increasingly euphoric NWOBHM phenomenon, as they also bore a healthy influence from punk rock, as pretty much all quintessential NWOBHM did, and thus their sound is considerably rawer and more D.I.Y. than some of their influences from the previous decade. Whatever you call them, their music was at the time highly energetic and powerful, as evidenced by opener "Going Home," a confident, lean and mean rocker with catchy, bludgeoning riff action going on. It is here that you are introduced to their guitar sound, which, with its sharp and immediate reverbed tone, is where the punk influence I mentioned comes in, something that was still new at the time and unlike most of their '70s precursors. I don't have a lyric sheet, but on this song Mike Scrimshaw appears to croon, "Smoking and drinking and biting and eating my words." Indeed, it wouldn't surprise me if at least some mind-altering substances were used in the creation of this record, particularly on the nearly-eight-minute track that closes out side one of the original LP, "Man of Colours." This one reminds me a lot of some of the longer, more majestic compositions to be found on Rainbow's "Long Live Rock 'N' Roll" album, in that it has that effect of really drawing in and hypnotically entrancing the listener. I can just see the band's fans getting stoned out of their minds when this one was played at Limelight's concerts at the time. In reality though, there are a pretty wide range of styles on display on this LP, because you flip the record over and are assaulted with the vastly different Angel Witch-like speed metal scorcher "Metal Man." That is in fact the only reason I couldn't quite rate this album with a full five stars, because the brilliant songwriting introduced on the first few tracks on side one doesn't quite hold up till the end, with side two being the weaker of the two ("Metal Man" excluded).
Still, Limelight didn't fail to make a lasting impression on the scene of the day with this record. They in fact hit the road upon the LP's release on a high-profile tour with none other than Saxon, and in 1981, with Avatar Records' signee Dark Star (another band they pretty closely resemble).
This 2012 CD reissue comes courtesy of Sweden's Flawed Gems, and while some would complain of the fact that it is clearly sourced from an old vinyl copy, in reality the sound is quite good, with a lot of bottom end to boot, being true to the original vinyl version without sacrificing sound quality. In addition, a reproduction of all art from the LP and the two singles represented are included.
All in all, Limelight is a name that doesn't come up enough in most circles when talking early '80s NWOBHM and hard rock, and is a more than worthy listen for any and all fans of same, particularly for those who will appreciate the group's very unique and original take on the sound.

Limelight - wish I'd seen it when it was first released...
2014年8月11日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I bought this on the basis of the other reviews and didn't remember the age - note that nowhere on the professional enough sleeve-notes is any date/year shown.
I was going to give this four stars because although there are some outstanding moments in this album, I've heard similar stuff done in the 90's and 2000's, but having just re-read the reviews and realised this from the '80's, it deserves five stars because it must have been absolutely ground-breaking for that time.
I can imagine this being amazing live!
