If I’ve got it right, Axe Victim is 50 next month. (June)
As with most old friends, when they reach a landmark birthday, I’ll be hoping to celebrate with a few drinks.
What I’m not aware of, is the exact release date.
Can anyone please help out?

Happy 50th anniversary to Axe Victims everywhere. Still hung up on those silver strings 😎🎸
I am currently reviewing the release dates for the Discography section on here (although I have much work yet to do) but my research on Axe Victim says that it arrived on 7 June 1974 the same date that Jet Silver and the Dolls was released on 7". The evidence for this is a news piece from Record Mirror. Most records in the UK back then were released on Fridays so to me that almost certainly rules out 17th (a Monday). I hope that helps.

This says 21st June 1974 (Friday), most sites just say June 1974 .
Hoping Sunburst Deluxe will do the whole album at their Leeds gig in July 😎
