"Work has begun in earnest on the first album of original material from Classic Petra. With a planned 10 new songs + new versions of two classic tracks, it's the line-up's first album of 'new' songs since 'Beat The System'. Stand by for additional updates....and there will be plenty! (admin)"

Thanks for the link! Why, though, if I don't follow the link and simply sign into Facebook and search Classic Petra, this page doesn't show up...I could not find it any other way than following your link. Just curious...

There is another post saying it should be released in the fall of 2012.

Please let the two re-recordings be Without Him we can do nothing and It is Finished.

I think it could be interesting to hear a song from the Schlitt era but with Greg X Volz. The other way around has been heard in every concert ever since Greg left. So why not...

On Facebook, they are now asking for suggestions/votes for what two old songs to remake.

I know these are off the wall, but I would love to hear an updated version of Voice in the Wind or Speak to the Sky. The two I hope they do not do are Judas Kiss and God Gave Rock & Roll, they both have been overdone and over played.

I'd like to hear Greg take a stab at Beyond Belief.

Beyond Belief has me curious, but for the most part I'd say no John songs ...except Back to the Street. Wasn't that originally written with Greg in mind?

+1 Speak to the Sky was on Captured in Time & Space, so that could be one they do again.

No BTTS was completely written knowing Greg wouldn't be the one singing it; they knew early 1985 that Greg would not be back once the BTS Tour was completed.
I think they should and will stick with Greg Era songs.
