Timeline

1976

Diamond Head are an English Heavy Metal band formed in Stourbridge, West Midlands, in 1976.

They were part of the new wave of British Heavy Metal movement and is acknowledged by bands such as Metallica and Megadeth as a significant early influence.

Brian Tatler formed the band with drummer Duncan Scott while still attending school.

In June 1976 they found singer Sean Harris, who was in the same year, and went through three bass players before settling on Collin Kimberley in Feb 1978.

1979

The band recorded two self-financed demo tapes in 1979.

They were recorded within six hours on a four-track, one of which was sent to Geoff Barton at Sounds.

The timing was perfect with the emergence of the new wave of British Heavy Metal.

In 1979/80, Diamond Head were managed by budding local managers Dave Morris and Ian Frazier.

Morris put some money into the band and tried to get the band a record deal; Frazier took to driving the band around the UK when on tour.

Sean Harris's mother (Linda Harris) persuaded her boss and boyfriend (Reg Fellows) to come and see the band with a view to investing in them.

Diamond Head's demos and live reputation gained enough attention for the band to get two support dates with AC/DC and one with Iron Maiden at The Lyceum, London.

Although several record companies expressed interest in signing the band, and their managers secured a couple of offers, none were deemed worthy by Fellows and Linda Harris, who were now beginning to advise Sean Harris as he still lived at home with his mother.

A difference of opinions about how to manage Diamond Head followed, which eventually led to Morris and Frazier quitting their role as managers, and the job fell solely to Fellows and Linda Harris.

Thus while other new waves of British Heavy Metal bands were signed to major labels and putting their toe into the US market, Diamond Head remained independent.

Guitarist Brian Tatler thinks that their joint managers had unrealistic expectations about the kind of record deal the band should sign, and when no deal lived up to this, Fellows decided that the band should record an album quickly and cheaply at a local 24 track studio, where they had recorded their first single "Shoot Out the Lights"; no money exchanged hands, and the studio owner Muff Murfin - in return for a week of studio time - took 50 percent of the bands publishing for fifteen years.

It is believed that tapes were passed onto various labels, but when the debut album, Lightning to the Nations, failed to secure a record deal, management decided that they would release 1000 copies of the album on an independent label (also owned by Muff Murfin) called Happy Face Records.

The album was packaged in a plain sleeve with no title or track listings, and 250 copies were signed by each band member.

The management thought that it should be perceived as a 'demo' album, so no fancy sleeve was required, making it very cheap to produce.

The first 1000 copies were pressed and made available at concerts and via mail-order for £3.50.

The only mail-order advertisement appeared in Sounds and ran for six weeks.

The band's management did not pay for the advertisement and ended up being sued.

The original stereo master tapes were lost after they were sent to the German record company, Woolfe Records, who released a vinyl version of the album with a new sleeve.

1980

In 1980, Pete Winkelman from Wolverhampton got involved and tried to sign Diamond Head to his new label, Media Records.

Winkelman had been a record plugger and he advised the band to change management but this advice was not heeded.

In the end, Diamond Head only agreed to make one single for Winkelman, a re-recorded version of "Sweet & Innocent" b/w "Streets of Gold", which came out around October 1980.

1981

In January 1981, Diamond Head successfully opened for April Wine on their UK tour.

An ambitious UK tour was planned for the summer as a way of being perceived as being more popular than they actually were.

An EP called Diamond Lights was recorded quickly in three days to help pay towards the expenses.

The management hired a tour bus for band and crew, and an articulated lorry filled with hired PA and lighting.

They also hired the Wolverhampton chapter of Hells Angels to perform security duties on the whole tour.

They bypassed promoters and booked the venues with a local agent to avoid paying a percentage, but with little promotion for the tour, it lost money.

The only A&R man who was determined to sign the band was Charlie Eyre, who quit his job at A&M and joined MCA in order to sign Diamond Head and Musical Youth.

1982

Discussions went on for around six months until the band finally inked a five-album deal on 1 January 1982.

First on the agenda was to record and release the Four Cuts EP, which contained two early era songs, "Shoot Out the Lights" and "Dead Reckoning", and the band did a whistle-stop UK tour of the clubs to promote it.

A link-up with agent Neil Warnock at The Agency secured Diamond Head a Friday night slot on the Reading Festival bill in 1982, albeit as late and unadvertised replacements for Manowar.

1990

The tapes were not returned until they were eventually tracked down by Lars Ulrich and Phonogram Germany for inclusion on the 1990 compilation album, New Wave of British Heavy Metal '79 Revisited.

1992

Their set was recorded by the BBC and later released in 1992 through Raw Fruit Records as the Friday Rock Show Sessions.

Their first MCA album, Borrowed Time, featured a lavish Rodney Matthews-illustrated gatefold sleeve based on the album's Elric theme and was the most expensive sleeve commissioned by MCA at the time.

The album was somewhat successful commercially, climbing to No 24 in the UK Albums Chart.

The band were able to perform a full-scale UK tour at premier venues such as London's Hammersmith Odeon.
