Weird. I thought that it was '79.

Strange how you mention Bomber instead of Overkill, as Overkill is considered as the stronger album. Not sure which I think is stronger but am reviewing both separately and not together.
I edited that a minute later cause I'd thought that Overkill was released the year earlier at first. Batting a thousand here.

It's probably the sexiest album cover in the history of rock, a pity the album wasn't up to much though. Might find someway to show the cover on here.
It is a great cover, but then I tried listening to the first song...I didn't get very far. I'd still buy that album if I saw it though.
