Info : An 11 track collection of rare demo recordings including the band's stunning cover of the Maiden classic ‘Running Free'. The story behind these releases is cloaked in mystery and intrigue. Most ‘experts' on the band consider them to be true fan club releases, but there is more to the story.
The very strong rumour is that the bands original manager passed these tapes to a ‘legitimate' and actually well known label in…..let's say….'One of the Benelux countries'. Hoping to clear them as totally official re-leases, the label realized that there would be contractual problems with the band and their official labels, Roadrunner and Music For Nations. A compromise was reached where a new ‘semi official sub label' was created especially for the two albums. (Satans Nightmare Records). The albums went out through normal distribution channels, (even the biggest wholesaler in Europe at the time sold them to various shops and mailorder companies).
