Ltd 400, 425gsm heavy cardboard cover, insert, live at Keep It True; Acid, formed in Bruges in 1980 (and initially called Precious Page), are widely considered to have been one of the first speed metal bands on the European continent. Lead vocalist Kate de Lombaerd, guitarists Dirk Simoens (Dizzy Lizzy) and Donald Devers (Demon), bassist Peter (T-Bone) and drummer Geert (Anvill) recorded three highly regarded albums for Giant Records - »Acid« (1983), »Maniac« (1983) and »Engine Beast« (1985) - before breaking up sometime in the mid-80s.
