A Time of Changes is a heavy metal album by British heavy metal act Blitzkrieg.

History

This album came out when Brian Ross decided to reform Blitzkrieg and record the album they wanted to record before they split up in 1981. After the original split of Blitzkrieg Brian sang with Avenger, Satan and Lonewolf. Pull the Trigger is in fact a Satan song that wasn't featured on the album. Brian recorded it with Satan, and it appeared on an earlier demo, "Into The Fire". Satan guitarist Russ Tippins makes a guest appearing on the song. "Take a Look Around" was recorded during these sessions and intended to be used on a single, but that never materialized. It is added as track six (4:14) on the A Time of Changes – Phase 1' compilation. The crowd noise on "Hell to Pay" was lifted from a Queen concert as a joke on the rumors that the 'Blitzed Alive' tape was a fake live show. At the time of its release most people believed Hell to Pay was actually recorded live. The original 1985 album was never released outside of Britain on vinyl, though it was released in Japan on CD in 1990 (TECP-25355) under the title A Time Of Changes +More with 2 bonus tracks and subsequently by Castle in 1992 (original title).[1]
