The Pack - King Of Kings

Before Spear of Destiny....
Before Theater of Hate.....
There was “The Pack

Kir
k Brandons first band the Pack was formed in 1978. This is their second single, and again (I thnk I’m getting boring here) I am posting it because of the excellent b-side “Number 12”.
As soon as it starts, the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, and you feel like grabbing an air guitar and playing along furiously. When Brandon’s unique style of singing (an acquired taste for many) starts you can hardly understand a word but who cares, just make a similar noise and join in. If this one doesn’t get you going, nothing will. This is Loud, Raw Mean, Moody and ....……. just play it.
The a-side “King of Kings” is also excellent but for me is still outclassed by “Number 12” The lyrics are on the back but only for “King of Kings”, so I have as usual provided a high resolution scan for you to sing along.
