_{Like many of my generation I had bought the early House of Lords albums released between 1988 and 1992. In fact I’m fairly sure that “Sahara” was one of the first albums that I bought on CD rather than vinyl.  I’ve remained a big fan of the band ever since and writing a recommendation for “”Precious Metal”, their sixth studio album since reforming in 2000, was pretty much a certainty! The album is released through Frontiers Records on 21st February.}
