Le Griffe was a short-lived NWOBHM band from 1978 till 1980. It was then that the first incarnation of the song 'Dead On Arrival' was recorded, which is reworked and comes as a bonus track for the first time in the CD version. The band recorded the EP 'Fast Bikes' and after the release of their second EP 'Breaking Strain' the band split up soon after. These two EPs are now collected on this release.
