They made some questionable decisions with those Magnit/Credo reissues. In addition to the cover art as bastard priest mentioned, there are some significant changes to the tracklistings. For example, what was the final track on Paying for Everything is now track #2. One song was removed and added to...

That's good to hear! Hopefully some US distros will carry it.

Looks like a CD reissue came out recently through Thunderflash Productions, a label I'm not familiar with at all.

Does anyone have it, or know anything about the label?

Interesting, I was reading about this on Legendry's Bandcamp page, and it says it's a follow-up to the events on their latest album. So then there are no other stories other than the lyrics for the earlier period? D.R. Lackner wrote one other story, entitled "The Wizard and the Tower Keep.&quo...

Scott Travis may not be an original member, but he's been in Priest much longer than all the previous drummers combined. That's got to count for something.

You're welcome! Here's a review you might find interesting. No real info about the band though, just a discussion of the music.

Well, that's discouraging news, but I appreciate your persistence in trying to make it happen. Hopefully a copy will turn up and your efforts will pay off.
