First on the agenda was to record and release the "Four Cuts" EP, which contained two early era songs "Shoot Out the Lights" and "Dead Reckoning" and the band did a whistle stop UK tour of the clubs to promote it. A link-up with agent Neil Warnock at The Agency secured Diamond Head a Friday night slot on the Reading festival bill in 1982, albeit as late and unadvertised replacements for Manowar. Their set was recorded by the BBC and later released in 1992 through Raw Fruit Records as the "Friday Rock Show Sessions".
