In August 2009, Universal records released a triple Diamond Head CD.
Titled 'The MCA years', it contains re-mastered versions of Borrowed Time, Canterbury and Live at the Reading Festival. The release also includes some bonus material and demos, some of which have previously been unavailable.
This is the first release of Borrowed Time and Canterbury on CD in the UK. The Reading set was previously released on Raw Fruit in 1992, but has long since been deleted and is a much sought after item by Diamond Head fans.

| Comments and Quotes on Diamond Head |
'Some of the greatest Heavy Metal songs of all time"
Lars Ulrich
"The songwriting was always one of my favourite parts of being in a band - the actual creative spark, when you both look at each other and laugh, like, that's it!"
Brian Tatler
"I place Diamond Head at the forefront of the best of the best"
Dave Mustaine
"Tatler is a guitarist of phenomenal power and creativity"
Guitar World
"Diamond Head's sound was so special as to be almost ethereal".
Malcolm Dome
"When we made 'Kill Em All', it was just Diamond Head and Motorhead"
Lars Ulrich
"Diamond Head took Heavy Rock a step beyond Led Zeppelin with new dynamics and new sounds"
Paul Elliot, Kerrang!
"To call this mere talent would be an understatement. Diamond Head were simply staggering. Harris in particular is an unstoppable whirling dervish for the whole 100 minutes, his emotive delivery never anything other than spot on"
Steve Beebee -Kerrang!
"I'm influenced by the likes of Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page and Brian Tatler".
Dave Mustaine - Megadeth
"Lightning to the Nations is one of THE classic pieces of vinyl as far as I'm concerned."
Lars Ulrich
"We're a combination of the two heads, Diamond Head and Motorhead. The epic feel is definitely from Diamond Head, while the simplicity came from Motorhead."
James Hetfield - Metallica
