DESCRIPTION

Many labels have tried in recent years to get the cult album "To The Top" by the Augsburg band OVERDOSE from 1985 for a re-release - without success. The research at Golden Core also lasted more than a year (!) until they actually got in touch with the original member "Coco", who agreed to a re-release.

The group was only active for three years and there were no further recordings either before or after the LP. Instead of a demo, they invested in an in-house pressing. The rest is history and sheer horror for collectors who want an original of this rarity. The varied Heavy Metal, from the fast opener and title song "To The Top" to the concluding hit song "Rockfever" is not only rare, but also intoxicating and simply good.

The re-release on Golden Core has to do without bonus tracks this time, but the booklet/inlay offers an interview with the original member "Coco", which finally sheds some light on the matter. The audio transfer was done by Patrick Engel from an unplayed (!!) LP, the remastering was done by Neudi afterwards. Of course, a separate master for vinyl was created.

"To The Top" is a journey back in time to the first half of the eighties and offers a metal aesthetic that no retro band can manage today.
