The second CD in the package features a live recording of the band performing at the Olympia in Paris on July 5, 1975, a few months prior to the release of Minstrel In The Gallery.

The other DVD includes the new Steven Wilson 5.1 (along with Summerday Sands and a very different version of Requiem in 5.1), flat transfers of the original LP mix at 96/24 and a flat transfer of the original QUAD mix. Both of these mixes include the B-side Summerday Sands.

As with previous anniversary sets this comes in a case-bound DVD book that includes an 80-page booklet featuring track-by-track annotations by Ian Anderson, recollections by roadie Kenny Wylie, Maison Rouge maintenance engineer Pete Smith, and string section member Liz Edwards plus lyrics, tour itinerary and rare and unseen photographs.

Die youtube Clips versprechen eine echte Granate. Def. eine ganz große Überraschung für mich das Teil!

Ein Comeback (?, waren Viking jemals richtig da) das in der Tat überraschend kommt und im Gegensatz zu manchen von der Presse mit scheibchenweise täglichen Wasserstandsmeldungen und Studioreports gehypten Wiederauferstehungen von Bandreinkarnationen auch musikalisch bei aufhorchen lässt.(jedenfalls das was die Band bislang bei Youtube eingestellt hat.) Das die halbe Dark Angel Band mitspielt, neben Mike Gonzales nun auch Gene Hoglan (dem Rockhard Leser meist nur als Drum-tier bekannt) hat sicherlich auch nicht geschadet.
Da freu ich mich drauf

[Schnuller]

Hm...die 60sek Clips der Songs sind gar sehr Mid-Tempo lastig...ich weis noch nicht so recht.

Iron Hawk - To The Point ...And Then Some (CD) / Cult Metal Classics

Cult Metal Classics is proud to present you another cult metal gem, which until now was hidden in the dust of ages. Chicago's heavy metal band IRONHAWK, is mainly known among heavy metal fans, because of their "hit" song "More Of The Same", which is included in the legendary 1983 EP "To The Point". Well, the time has come for this EP to be released for the first time on CD format, remastered, in a special limited edition, which will also contain 4 bonus tracks that were restored professionally from old tapes! At last, all tracks that IRONHAWK ever recorded, are included in one release, which also contains tons of photos from the golden 80s, story of the band and lyrics. IRONHAWK's music is the perfect combination between US Metal and NWOBHM. If you haven't listened to the band's music so far, we are sure that since you first hit the play button, you will realise how classic these songs are meant to be! And that they are meant to be played LOUD!!!

The release is dedicated to the memory of the sadly missed guitar player of the band, James Tisdale.

This is a limited edition CD, with remastered and restored sound. Comes with 16 pages booklet, lyrics, biography and rare photos.

BAD AXE - Contradiction To The Rule (CD) Sonic Age Records

BAD AXE from Michigan, have been one of the great unsung heroes of the early 80's, whose only LP back in 1986 (Contradiction To The Rule), remains to this day a highly sought after collector's item. Despite the fantastic music in the album, due to the fact that it's so hard to find, many metal fans were not given the chance to listen to masterpieces like "The Last Knight", "The Ice Queen", "All the Great Magicians" etc. CULT METAL CLASSICS secured the license of the album for a limited edition reissue on CD, with great remastered sound and booklet containing lyrics, photos and band story written by Rusty Wright, a multitalented singer, bass and guitar player who was the mastermind behind BAD AXE. After nearly 30 years from its initial release, time to pay tribute to one great band....a true unsung hero of the 80's! HAIL!!!!

This is a limited edition CD, with remastered and restored sound. Comes with 12 pages booklet, lyrics, biography and rare photos.

und

Das sind ja zwei fabelhafte News. Von der IRONHAWK kenne ich bisher nur die starke "To The Point" EP, hab da (wie so viele) das 3on1 Bootleg. Die BAD AXE dürfte dem ein oder anderen zu süßlich sein, aber ich mag diese Art Stadiorock/-metal, der nie über klitzekleine Clubs hinauskam, haha. ´Runner On The Wind´ ist ein Hammertrack.
