2009 archive collection from the high-octane British power trio who breathed excitement and danger back into the music scene of the mid 1980s.  Drawing on the influences of Chicago Blues, Punk, Rockabilly and British R&B; bands like the Pirates and early Dr Feelgood, the Messiahs delivered a pulverizing and brutal brand of Rock 'N' Roll wholly of their own making. This collection brings together some of their best work for BBC radio. There are red-hot, vintage studio sessions for DJs Andy Kershaw and Janice Long from 1985 and 1987 respectively, whilst a BBC concert from early '85 reveals just what a powerful live band they were from the start.  Just feel that raw energy and electricity! 18 tracks.
