There are 2 compilations -
40th Anniversary with 27 tracks
and 40th Anniversary DELUXE with 37 tracks
same price - right, i know what im about to buy

Deluxe is download only. I'll probably be getting the CD version myself.
Enjoy!

Just pre-ordered my CD off Amazon (the $1 mp3 credit is pretty sweet), and I'll likely get the Deluxe mp3 version off iTunes tomorrow. No, I don't normally buy both digital and hard copies of the same album (ouch...), but hey, Petra isn't a normal band.

Anyone figure out how to pick the t-shirt size? It seems when you add to the cart, it shows all sizes and in the checkout, there is only a "Notes" section.

Love the new song! I just listen to it on Spotify, but I will buy at least some copys of the cd to support the band. I hope that they will make a whole new album soon!

Kind of catchy, I do like! Reminiscent of PP2. Did Greg B. & the new guy actually play on this? Seriously?

I'm thinking the drums are programmed and do not know about Greg B, but will say that I do believe he sang bgv's. I want to know who is playing keys? Its really in the John Lawry style; that would be awesome.

The SoundCloud page says, "The first new Petra recording since the 2003 release 'Jekyll & Hyde'..."
Um, what about "Back to the Rock" and "Too Big to Fail"? Or does Classic Petra not count

The new song is cool - not my dream Petra tune, but a good one.
Must say I was a little disappointed that the liner notes "written by Bob Hartman" were basically the details of each album represented (year, producer, author), and not much else. I wasn't expecting a devotional booklet or anything but it would have been nice to have some comments for each track.
Also, I think one song from the debut album should have been included. It would have made the "40th anniversary" concept much more meaningful, especially with the inclusion of a new song.
Still, it's a great selection, and I like it.

Classic Petra is basically a different band. I think Bob considers it a failed experiment (just my hunch).
