Narita is the second studio album by the American
heavy metal band
Riot.[3] The album was initially released in 1979. It became out of print in the late 1980s and was only being pressed in CD format in Japan in 1989 until the early 1990s. It was finally issued on CD outside Japan in 2005 by UK-based
Rock Candy Records, run by former Kerrang! writers Derek Oliver and Dante Bonutto.
'Narita' was also the name of a short-lived San Antonio, Texas-based Riot offshoot, featuring guitarist Mark Reale along with former
S.A. Slayer members vocalist Steve Cooper, drummer
Dave McClain, and bassist Don Van Stavern, who would later appear on the Thundersteel and The Privilege of Power albums and is a member of
Riot V. They recorded a three-song demo in 1985, including an early version of "Thundersteel", before Reale reformed Riot in 1986.
American metal band Night Demon covered "Road Racin'"[4] on their 2015 album Curse of the Damned; the song is included on the CD digipak version on
Century Media and the 12" vinyl version on
SPV/Steamhammer.
The songs "Narita" and "Road Racin'" are featured in the video game Brütal Legend.
The song "Road Racin" was included on the Polydor album Castle Donnington: Monsters of Rock, from the concert August 1980.[5]
