The Scrounger's ReportMar. 01, 2000Listen up all you CCM fans...I've heard plenty of bad press about RadRockers.Com over the years (primarily due to overinflated prices on their OOP stuff), but they have some discs in right now that I *really* want, so I decided to gamble and give them a try. There's some stuff just reissued (or actually issued for the first time on CD) that some of you may be interested in that are not available through other channels. I have *no* idea what the quality of the sound or artwork will be, so I guess I'm somewhat of a guinea pig. :) I just placed my order for the following (all new discs still sealed, no used material here): Angelica - Greatest Hits $4.50 For completist purposes; I've got all the other discs. I figured I won't find this elsewhere cheaper. According to the phone operator I spoke with they've got hundreds of sealed copies in stock. Deliverance - Intense Live Series. $3.50 Ditto on the quantity (They have evidently bought out distributors on certain titles and have quantity in depth; their bargain bins bear perusing if you're looking at filling in your CCM collection). Sweet Comfort Band - Hold On Tight $12.00 Sweet Comfort Band - Prime Time $9.00 I see people paying $$$ for these on Ebay from time to time. Why? RR also has "Breakin' the Ice" new for $12.00 as well, but I already have that one. The last 2 only came in yesterday, and at least one of them I've been looking for FOREVER, and had assumed I'd have to shell out $$$$ for: Leviticus - I Shall Conquer $13.00 From the RR web site: "Veteran white metal enthusiasts will remember that Pure Metal released this in the U.S.A. in the early 80's, but never made any CDs! Matt Hunt of Massive Groove Productions has digitally re-mastered it and added their previously cassette-only 1982 original 4-song demo EP, plus 3 bonus tracks! It's one of M8 Distribution's Gold Trim Collector's Series of Limited Edition (only 1000 made ) CD re-issues. 13 songs TT: 56:12 4-page insert" Trytan - Celestial Messenger $13.00 From the RR web site: "Metal fans who love Rush and Rage Of Angels will rejoice that this Trytan classic (never before released in the U.S. on CD) has been digitally re-mastered and re-issued stateside, and is now available at a fraction of the price of the illegal, (so the band informs us) expensive, import versions! Not to mention enhanced artwork and three bonus tracks that add another 21 minutes of music! It's one of the Millenium 8 Gold Trimmed Collector's Series, a one-time pressing of 1000 copies! 12 songs TT: 52:15 4-page insert" (FINALLY! I was all set to bid on one this on Ebay starting at $40...glad I checked RR on a whim). Assuming these are legitimate releases, there are BOATLOADS of reissues that RadRockers is selling. Their listings *imply* that all of their stuff is with the blessing of the bands in question. I could (and am about to) go broke there REAL fast... I'll report on the quality of these when I get them. -Dan |
