[edit] One great song?

This might just be some sort of unfounded rumour, but I've heard stories about an original plan of making this album sound like one great song. The original tracklisting placed the song "Breaking The Law" as the first track, with "Rapid Fire" and "Metal Gods" following next. In the current tracklisting "Rapid Fire" opens up first with "Metal Gods" as the following song and THEN "Breaking The Law". It's rather vague, I know, but there's supposed to be signs of this left on the old vinyl records from the time of the album's release. Does anyone know how to verify whether this is true or just some kind of bad joke?

This is false the original that was initially released in the UK was "Rapid fire", "metal gods" and "breaking the law" this was intended by the band, but when it was released in the US the tracklist had changed and "breaking the law" was moved to the first song, this was because the record company saw that the song was popular and decided to move it there. This meant that boths sides of the vinyl record started off with the most popular songs "breaking the law" being one of them, the other "living after midnight" Harryngo (talk) 11:09, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
