I think your thinking of the "Set Me Free" track off the Crusader LP(terrible album),a band called "Sweet" originally did this song. It didn't used to bother me until I met my girlfriend 3 and a half years ago when she saw that Saxon covered this song,she pulled out a 1996(I think?)version of the song done by "Vince Neil's band" YUK!! HAHAHA!!!! Now,I can't listen to the track without her reminding me of Vince singing it hahaha!!!!

Thanks Painkiller ,Frozen Rainbow still rocks.That brought back some memories.
I also remember they did a cover of a top 40 song early days and their version was popular with their fans.
can you remember what song it was ? cheers
[J.D. DIAMOND] Friday, September 10, 2010 3:29:39 PM 
Oh yeah man,Searching For Atlantis what a killer song this is.The entire album of Lionheart is totally magical and majestic,its a kick ass British Heavy Metal/rock album traditional all the way.This album is "better" than Powerslave by Iron Maiden and I'd go as far as saying that its up there with albums like Screaming For Vengeance,Defenders Of The Faith,Painkiller,The Number Of The Beast,Mob Rules,ect... its an instant classic,every metalhead who likes Saxon should have this LP in thier collection,a definate "must have".

Great track Painkiller87,yeah Saxon's debut album may not be as good as modern day Saxon but out of 8 songs on the album I like 6:

Rainbow Theme
Frozen Rainbow
Judgement Day
Stallions Of The Highway
Backs To The Wall
Militia Guard


I never really cared for "Big Teaser" or "Still Fit To Boggie" but yes,a great debut album from the British legends.

Oh yes Saxon would grace my turn table in the 80's, and then out came the guitar to copy some riffs.
strong arm of the law,strangers in the night,denim and leather  all big songs in their day.
Did they have a song called Frozen rainbow ?

Thats a total false statement because "Need For Speed" does not blow away anything Maiden has done since Powerslave. Where do you come up with this stuff man? The excellent Wickerman thrashes that pile of junk..

SAXON - Valley Of The Kings - 2009 off the Into The Labyrinth album. This song kicks ass and is far better than anything a band like Iron Maiden has recorded in the last 26 years.

Yeah I think the 2004 Lionheart album is Saxon's best album,every song on this masterpiece is excellent. and should be in every metalhead's collection that likes Saxon,it easily ranks up next to albums like British Steel,Screaming For Vengeance,Painkiller, Iron Maiden's first 5 studio albums,Holy Diver,The Mob Rules,Diary Of A Madman and ect......

Well you see Evans,the difference between you and me is that I'm a well respected veteran member here while your a worthless "inferior to J.D."  idiot  that can't function here without my presence,people don't back me up because of my good looks,they respond simply because of your "idiocy". I'll always be "up here"....and you'll always be "down there",I'm always one step ahead of you and always will be undefeated.There is nothing that you can do to be accepted in this forum.

I prefer Metalhead over Killing Ground but Killing Ground is definately a great album,only like 2 songs that are under-par,the rest of the album is great.

You have to understand, I know nothing about this shit. Also my financial
situation doesn't allow me to buy anything I want. As bad as you make it sound,
my discs are turning out pretty good. I bought an MP3 version of "Feel the Same"
by Riot. I recently recorded/converted the whole LP. My version has a bassier
and louder sound than the MP3. Also when I play Cd's that were originally released
on vinyl they do not sound as good as the vinyl I'm putting to disc. I would love to 
do what you're telling me but my funds limit me. I appreciate all you tell me and feel 
free to rip what I'm doing. I'm not taking it as a personal attack. I'm using it as a way
to learn. Take care man.

Eech. Sorry to say that I know it. We bought one Ion for my lab and hated it right away. Cheap price, yes, but cheap quality as well. It has since been "retired."

I shouldn't say any more. If you are happy with it, great. I bought a new booster for my old turntable, ran it through my stereo and to my computer. My rips are all but flawless. Know that you are limited by software. Ion sucks. You can do a firmware hack but it is difficult. Keep ripping your MP3s in the highest bitrate possible is my best suggestion.   [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Budred from Saturday, May 01, 2010 9:37:45 PM)

Look at the top of this Halford page. Look at the bitrates. Flac and WMA both are considered "lossless" at least in the way they release it. WMA DOES have a lossy format. www.halfordmusic.com/content/static/index.html

You didn't name the make of your USB turntable but there aren't that many. 256 or 512k is most likely the ripping rate. It is really quite easy to get a "true" rip instead of an MP3. Look at Halford's site. He releases his free tracks in different bitrates. Two different MP3 bitrates and lossless (flac). To get your USB turntable (irrespective of the make) is usually quite easy and free. Look at Audible and here ==>flac.sourceforge.net/   The term "digital" is quite subjective. To put it simply, there is not one single format. On second look, I see that Halford also releases 126kbs. Inferior quality to be sure. Listen to it on a quality 6.1 quality system and you'll certainly hear it.

I understand that analog is better than digital. More bits of music per second equals a fuller,
better sound. It's the transfer sounding better than disc I don't get. I figured once that was done
the quality would degrade to digital. Right now recording to MP3 is all I can do. I have a USB turntable
that has EZ Vinyl Converter program built in. I know nothing about flac or even what that is. I
probably come off as stupid but really, it's just a lack of knowledge. I'm still in my first year with
computers and quite honestly, I don't do much on it. Most of my computer time is spent here.
I do like to learn though and will try to figure out what you're telling me. I knew you would have an answer,
you are quite knowledgeable. Even though MP3 may not be the way to go I am amazed my discs are
sounding as good as they do. Take care man.

To help....look here...first answer sums up my feelings: answers.google.com/answers/threadview

All depends on the turntable and especially the cartridge. Like I said, the first answer to the link above had it right.
[guidogodoy] Saturday, May 01, 2010 6:21:14 PM 
LPs have better depth. The range is better (highs and lows), IMO. I run a 5.1 on my computer and a 6.1 surround in my main room. I'd only suggest that you NOT rip to MP3. It is a "lossy format." Like zipping a file, it makes adjustments to the highs / lows and even midrange to keep the filesize small. Rip to flac. Most trading sites don't even accept MP3s as they are flawed. Flac is an exact replica. A google search can teach you how to do it. All you need is the right codex.
