Virgin Prumes

The Virgin Years 1977-1983 is the follow-up to last year's The Virgin Years 1974-1978 (see review) by Tangerine Dream (TD). The latter album was a 3CD-box set comprising the five remastered albums TD recorded for Virgin Records between 1974 and 1978: Phaedra (1974), Rubycon (1975), Ricochet (1975), Stratosfear (1976) and Cyclone (1978) plus a selection of rare single releases, 7-inch edits as well as two rarely heard radio adverts. However, it didn't contain Encore, originally released in 1977. The follow-up to this previous release contains seven albums plus two singles all packed on a 5CD-album set.

Re-release of the second album from Epic & Power Metal pioneers Virgin Steele. Remixed, remastered and 3 bonus tracks were addded. 41 years ago this album was released and hit like a bomb in the Metal scene. These men of Steele have been busy! Hot on the heels of last summer’s brand new Bombastic Epic release “The Passion of Dionysus” coming this summer in addition to the re-release of the very first Virgin Steele album, the second Virgin Steele album, “Guardians Of The Flame”, will also be re-released in tandem with the first album, on August 23, 2024, via Steamhammer/SPV in a very special edition, as a digi-CD and as a Gatefold Double Vinyl LP, and also in digital format.
