Keep the Dogs Away is the first studio album by the heavy metal band Thor, released in 1977. The album went gold shortly after it was released, selling 50,000 copies in Canada.[citation needed] In 2009 it was reissued on CD for the first time in a special 30th Anniversary Edition; It included a 16-page booklet and a few unreleased bonus tracks.[3] In 2016 it was reissued once again with even more bonus content under Deadline Music in a deluxe 6-panel digipak CD with alternate cover art, liner notes from a longtime fan, author/producer Brian Kehew, 22 rare and unreleased bonus cuts on a separate disc, and a vintage 1984 London concert, that previously was limited to VHS, now on DVD. The first CD is the original album and all bonus content is put on the second disk. A faithful reissue of the original vinyl that had meticulously recreated the original pressing with the original cover art, foldout poster, and printed inner sleeve.[4] [5]
