The Petra Zone

You do a search on Google for Petra tabs, but I'm not aware of any single site that has a comprehensive selection.

I also remember InPop pleading with us to take it easy on their servers!

From what I've been able to gather by reading between the lines, Louie was unhappy with the band moving away from praise music. I think he was hoping Revival was Petra's new direction, and he was displeased with the decision to move back towards hard-edged rock. Since it doesn't do a band any good t...

I for one thought Beat the System sounded mostly like bubble gum music. Petra was a rock band at the time...and BTS was like programmed music. Personally, I think it is quinessential 80's. It's everything that was good about 80's rock rolled into a single album. I suppose it's an acquired taste, bu...

Oops.

But in my defense the title of this thread is "Louie and Beat the System", so how was I supposed to know that you were suddenly talking about Back to the Street and that "BTTS" wasn't simply a typo?

Well then, there's something wrong with somebody's information here. How could Louie be simultaneously upset that he and Mark Kelly "didn't play a lick" on Beat the System and happy that it was a "band album"?

InpopShara said the turn around time was too close to get any enhanced product on the street. I feel they will put alot more effort into the DVD with extras, so whats the big deal? I never said it was a "big deal". I'm just saying that until we have an official announcement, we should take all rumo...

At any rate, that track list is certainly plausible, and I would not be at all disappointed if that's the final version (even though I'd love to hear John Schlitt belt out "Judas' Kiss"). I like the idea of Bob Hartman's guitar solo setting up the final track.

Well, a representative from InPop has confirmed that it won't be an enhanced CD, so the manufacturer doesn't quite have all of its ducks in a row. Since the enhanced CD was originally planned but later scrapped, it's probably old information. Like I said, grain of salt.

I believe InPopSue said that it will not be an enhanced CD, so if your source is saying that it is, you might want take the information with a grain of salt.

Edit: Sorry, it was InpopShara, 6th post down in this thread.

How well did Jekyll & Hyde sell? I'm thinking Farewell will be around in that range, though it could get a boost from being the last Petra album. However, it certainly won't go gold. Face it, folks, Petra's glory days of the 90's were a long time ago.

I remember reading an article after John joined Petra, and BTTS was recorded...I remember Louie saying that he was so happy with this album..cause it was a band album, everybody actually got to play as a band. You might be thinking of "Captured in Time and Space". Louie has never been happy about t...

You misunderstand the nature of my complaint. It's the way the album was advertised at the "too good to be true" price of less than $12.

Michael wrote:$13.88 plus 9% sales tax (that's about what it is here) comes to about $15.12 .

Thank you. Exactly my point. All I'm saying is that the price is not the best reason to buy the CD from this source. Get it for the other perks (early shipping, special cover) but not the price.

According to the site, they ship 7 days prior to release.
