77. Anthrax / Armed And Dangerous (EP). 1985. 4/5.

This was released prior to Spreading The Disease coming out, I guess primarily to introduce Joey Belladonna to the masses as Anthrax's new lead singer.

It contains the single and another track that didn't end up making the album (Raise Hell), re-recordings of Metal Thrashing Mad and Panic, as well as God Save The Queen and a couple of B-sides from the very first Anthrax single.

Hey, for an EP, it's good. The two songs at the start are great, God Save The Queen is OK, the remakes of the songs off A Fistful Of Metal are great, and so are the original B-sides. Can't be faulted for quality!

Rating : A good lead-in to the Joey era. 4/5.
