Re-release of 2002's remake album with 2014's appearance at the Bloodstock Festival included. I think Saxon has succeeded in making most songs valid under new circumstances and the bonus disc with live material is definitely energetic and very much a real live recording without a massive amount of studio work to enhance the product to sonically flawless.
