The record

Title: Diamond Head – Behold the Beginning
Year/Genre/City: 1986, Heavy Metal (Compilation), Stourbridge, England
Matrix #: MBR 1084
Condition: VG+

Cultural Facts:

[Breakup Aftermath]: Released after the Canterbury-era collapse, it kept the band’s name alive while they were effectively split, with Brian Tatler remixing the material.

[Influence Chain]: Metallica publicly championed Diamond Head early on, helping turn a UK cult band into a global blueprint for what heavy riffs could become in thrash.

[DIY Demos]: In 1979 they cut self-financed demos fast on a four-track and pushed them hard; that hustle helped land major support slots and industry attention.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
