I paid my sister a quid to sew the word "Sledgehammer" on the back of my denim jacket. It was just below "Judas Priest", just above "Motorhead". I'd never seen them live and only had this single. People used to say "Who the hell are Sledgehammer?" I used to make out that they were going to be the next big band and I had spotted them first, to feel exclusive, like. How wrong was I ?

I still have this and Vardis, Chevy, Handsome beasts, Money, White Spirit , Diamond Head, Limelight and a few others. They all played at the Princville Rock Club in Bradford, I bought a single every week. Samson played there with Bruce Dickinson on the Fuck the Petrol Bill tour. I always remember it because they gave me a tshirt for helping them load the van. Happy Days. Just wish I had kept my waistcoat with all the badges.

Fukin' 'ell!!!! I remember this back from about 1981. Saw them at the old Marquee on Wardour street,London. Mike Cook the singer/ lead guitarist was my Physics teacher at Raggy Road school, Slough. Good memories from back then, remember being able to get up to the Marquee by train from slough, pay the entrance fee, to see a band and buy a bottle of Newcastle brown ale for a fiver!!!!!!

beginning kinda reminds me Jimmy Page playing

Sledgehammer were incredible. They had a certain magic to their sound, a very surreal and dream-like atmosphere that came so naturally like they weren't even trying. It's hard to compare them to bands who had huge careers and a dozen albums, but for the NWOBHM bands who never made it, Sledgehammer were the best.
