This very underrated British band came to prominence in 1980, during the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal era, although their distinctive and accomplished style of heavy music (and inclusion of several lengthly racks) had comparatively little in common with Tygers Of Pan Tang or Saxon style. Their sole, but excellent heavy progressive album (released privately in 1980 on tiny Future Earth Records) contained a solid dose of very energetic and uncompromising hard rock influenced not only by Led Zeppelin, Rainbow and Rush, but also inspired by the music of early Yes. At the time Limelight was probably the only heavy rock band in Britain with Mellotron! This remastered edition was extended by 4 rare tracks taken from two vinyl singles.

Hailing from the very core of England, in the Nottinghamshire, these modern paisans of Robin Hood, the Limelight, were practitioners of a good hard rock during their heyday, in the early 80s, being another interesting addition to the copious NWOBHM scene.
As it seems the band's origins come from an early epoch, 1967, odd fact that would make Limelight older than Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath, for instance (!)
Anyhow, they released this first s/t album in 1980, by means of the small Future Earth label, (in 1981 by Avatar Records & Screenworks), featuring Mike Scrimshaw on bass and vocals, Glenn Scrimshaw on guitar (and eventually keys) & Pat Coleman on the drums, album which was re-released 3 or 4 years later as "Ashes to ashes".
This album is one of those ignored little gems the NWOBHM left, including a pretty high quality songwriting, in songs like "Going home", the bluesy "Mamma (I don't wanna lose ya)", and two long cuts with progressive specks, "Man of colours" and "Don't look back" as my 4 favorite songs out of the 7 the album includes.
"Limelight" is the only aural testament left by this very interesting band, another peculiarity among the several the NWOBHM showcased.
