The album contains five songs each from veteran bands of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal Oliver/Dawson Saxon (resulting from a split of Saxon), Girlschool and Tygers of Pan Tang.^[1] The album features both new songs and already published ones, sometimes re-recorded for the occasion. The release of the album was followed by a UK tour of the three bands together.^[2] The cover design was by Robb Weir's nephew and Vectis radio DJ, Tim Pritchard with Paris-based designer Kev Baldwyn. The painting used was commissioned by Robb Weir and painted by Isle of Wight-based artist, John Patty.
