Budgie The Last Stage 1983- 1985

Many of these songs were originally lined up for the follow-up to 1982’s Deliver Us from Evil, an album that never saw the light of day. That backstory gives this collection real weight, capturing what might have been the next chapter for Budgie.

The song Beautiful Lies was also reportedly intended for that lost album, but never made the final cut. It had previously surfaced on the Budgie compilation An Ecstasy of Fumbling – The Definitive Anthology.
