The Second Wave: 25 Years of NWOBHM is a split studio album released in 2003 by British indie label Communiqué Records. The album contains five songs each from veteran bands of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal Oliver/Dawson Saxon (resulting from a split of Saxon), Girlschool and Tygers of Pan Tang.[1] The album features both new songs and already published ones, sometimes re-recorded for the occasion. The release of the album was followed by a UK tour of the three bands together.[2] The cover design was by Robb Weir's nephew and Vectis radio DJ, Tim Pritchard with Paris based designer Kev Baldwyn. The painting used was commissioned by Robb Weir and painted by Isle of Wight based artist, John Patty.
