Lionheart – Second Nature (Japanese Edition) (2017),MP3+FLAC

LIONHEART was formed in late 1980 by Dennis Stratton (lead guitar/backing vocals, ex-IRON MAIDEN), Jess Cox (lead vocals, ex-TYGERS OF PAN TANG), Steve Mann (lead guitar/backing vocals, ex-LIAR), Rocky Newton (bass guitar/backing vocals, ex-WILDFIRE) and Frank Noon (drums, ex-DEF LEPPARD).
The band began playing gigs, including regular shows at London’s Marquee Club, but had problems maintaining a consistent lineup. The core personnel of Dennis, Steve and Rocky remained but various singers passed through the band, including Rueben Archer, John Farlham and Bob Hawthorn. They eventually settled as a four-piece, with Dennis and Rocky sharing lead-vocal duties. The drummer’s stool was variously occupied by Les Binks (ex-JUDAS PRIEST), Nicko McBrain (ex-TRUST and subsequently IRON MAIDEN) and Clive Edwards (ex-WILD HORSES).
