Last year gave us a rare treat in that Hells' Headbangers released the All That's Fit for Fighting compilation, a repressing of Witch Cross' Fit for Fight record with a metric ton of bonus content, in both CD/DVD and a lavish 4xLP format which is these days the preference for many collectors of vintage heavy metal. And 'vintage' Fit for Fight was, an album I've had the pleasure of enjoying for many years now, though it was a bit difficult to find in the 80s (several intermittent reissues made a CD available which I later snagged at a Fest in New Jersey, I believe). Great, melodic, well-written traditional metal with speed and hooks, not to mention the gorgeous, piercing vocals which were reminiscent of 80s Riot; perhaps not one of the most vital European recordings of that decade, and they never got to the same level as countrymen Mercyful Fate or Pretty Maids, but it's hard to hear a tune today like "Nightflight to Tokyo" or "Tears of a Clown" and not choke up on the awesome.
