Good to see you love them Thomas, I for one dislike them.
One by one I am replacing them by better rereleases like recently Stan Meissner's albums (on Yesterrock). Only a few to go (like the brilliant Rescue ...)
Correct, but I believe there was only one of those. Thanks !
actually, there were a few of them LIRP's:
LIRP90001 RATED X Words CH Features a BEATLES cover song "Come Together" (France 1995)
LIRP90002 MEDALYON Visions
LIRP90003 PARISH Envision released 1995, "Long Island Rockpower"
other releases from the label:
LIR 50048 OUT OF ORDER - Do You Have Other Fish To Fry?
LIR 50066 MAXIME - Behave Yourself
LIR 50077 TUSK - Tales From A Haunted Book

Cool band indeed, I have their debut Night Dreams (pure old school AOR) and Arrival (on Frontiers). Recommended stuff. I didn't buy 'Rising up', I still remember negative reviews about the bad production.
Very sad to see the end of Target Records. A long time ago I bought quite some CD's from Robert, in the 90's when he used to send his catalogue on paper to each customer. A very honest seller.
I need some advice.
I'm still looking for Rebellion, Masters and Obsessions. These albums are hard to find over here in Europe.
On eBay they are so 'cheap', even the 'Buy It Now' ones. And all of them seem to be like new.
Should I wait for the re-issues or go for ebay with the risk to end up with a bootleg?
Agree, a very underrated band, such a shame. Their music is very melodic.
Time Tells No Lies, Only The Children Cry, Forever In Time, Nowhere To Hide, Sanctuary are my favorite albums.
The only weak imo is 'the journey goes on'. Doogie White on vocals was not the right choice.
Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast gets my vote, it is a CLASSIC
Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance : good album but can't match Maiden's classic
Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind
Judas Priest - Defenders Of The Faith
So difficult to choose, but Priest wins this one because Defenders is their all time greatest album and I consider Piece of Mind Maiden's second best album.
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Judas Priest - Turbo
Turbo was a disappointment. Powerslave doesn't reach the level of Piece of Mind but it contains some classsics like Aces High, 2 Min. To Midnight...
Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
Judas Priest - Ram It Down
Once again Maiden wins this poll. Ram it Down is missing inspiration and old rockers like Johnny Be Goode don't belong on a metal CD.
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
Judas Preist - Painkiller
Preist wins. Painkiller is such a strong and highly underrated album. This was at the time Priest's most powerful album and for me one of their finest moments (together with Defenders and Live 87)
Iron Maiden - No Prayer For The Dying
Judas Priest - Jugulator
Priest without Halford is not Priest.
