This song is done by the legendary NWOBHM band Samson and it is called Vice Versa and is off their second cd titled Head On released in 1980 off of MCA Records. The early samson lineup is legendary as it consisted of Bruce Bruce (Dickenson) before his successful trip with Iron Maiden. Also Paul Samson on guitars, who would go on to die of cancer, and Thunderstick on the drum battery. Thunderstick who also played early on for Maiden completed the lineup.
I have just been getting into alot of hard rock/proto metal like purple after years of having exhausted all the epic melodic 80's metal bands and these guys are the shit.

ok after further study i have been listening to tons of Samson lately. my head tactics cassette from 1986 says all tracks remixed by jo julian and paul samson. and for instance walking out on you on my HT cassette doesnt have the trippy long ending part. some parts in songs are slightly different and sound tightened up a bit and sound better than album form. and like you said it has losing my grip track 3 on it with bruce which i prefer over nickys. \m/
