Anvil's first album, 1981's Hard 'n' Heavy, may also be their most unique, since it actually predated the band's adhesion (and key contributions) to the up-and-coming speed metal movement, beginning with their seminal sophomore outing, 1982's Metal on Metal. Instead, Hard 'n' Heavy is a transitional record compiling the best fruits of nearly a decade's worth of club shows and basement woodshedding over long cold Canadian winters by inseparable pals Steve "Lips" Kudlow (vocals/guitar) and Robb Reiner (drums), plus, more recently, bandmates Dave Allison (guitar) and Ian Dickson (bass). In fact, prior to its release through Attic Records, Hard 'n' Heavy had already been put out independently under the group's discarded moniker of Lips (where, curiously, their focus had been on S&M-inspired shock rock), so in some respects, it was the work of another band, not Anvil. This S&M connection certainly explains the exceedingly naughty sexual double-entendres gracing the album's numerous frill-free hard rockers -- namely "AC/DC" and "Oooh Baby" (both of which recall the first song's namesake), "Hot Child" (which owes much to UFO), and the self-explanatory "Bondage" (which ironically features searing guitar histrionics right out of Ted Nugent's arsenal). Others still, like Dave Allison's ménage ŕ trois bubblegum boogie "I Want You Both (With Me)," his second lead vocal, "Oh, Jane," and the inordinately laid-back "At the Apartment" barely even qualify as metal, having a lot more in common with the sort of commercial hard rock that Billy Squier and April Wine were topping charts with at the time. But Reiner's impeccable drumming on all of the above is always busier and more aggressive than these non-metal artists would ever mess with (even on Anvil's cover of the Stones' "Paint It Black"), and once he and his bandmates really lets rip on Hard 'n' Heavy's minority of adrenalin-fueled headbangers like "School Love" and "Bedroom Game," Anvil finally latch on to their impending speed

Given Telarc's usual preference for film and popular music from Cincinnati, it's a pleasure to report that Erich Kunzel has been turned loose on a brace of short classical pieces this time. Quality material, too -- with an emphasis upon sonic spectaculars like The Pines of the Appian Way from Respighi's The Pines of Rome, Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man, and Fetes from Debussy's Nocturnes but also subtler things like Nimrod from Elgar's Enigma Variations and Vaughan Williams' Greensleeves fantasia. That said, it's not a pleasure to report that Kunzel's renditions are mostly on the tepid side -- underplayed, restrained. The extroverted numbers are short on the very quality of pizzazz that such pieces suggest, and even the more sensitive pieces
come off as matter-of-fact run-throughs. Kunzel's concept of Berlioz's Roman Carnival overture is especially leaden, like Otto Klemperer without the latter's implacable authority. On some of the selections, the Cincinnati Pops is reinforced by the College Conservatory of Music of the University of Cincinnati Brass Choir, which produces an especially hefty brass sound in the Grand March from Verdi's Aida. Yet Telarc's surround setup is rather conservative, as it usually is for Cincinnati Pops offerings, reserving the rear channels for hall ambience. It might have been more fun if, say, the engineers had recorded the brass in Fanfare for the Common Man antiphonally as Copland has suggested (which has been done before in DVD-A with striking results). ~ Richard S. Ginell
