Merry Christmas Petheads!

Merry Christmas to you all! How cool would it be to view the events that happened on or around the birth of Christ? I'm talking about viewing it in a "ghost of Christmas past" type setting, that way you could still listen to Petra music when you are done.

Anyone suspect some Petra gear is wrapped with YOUR name on it? Keeping my fingers crossed!

I believe it was late April or early May.

Merry Christmas...Keep Christ in your Christmas (wise words from a wonderful Christmas Eve service last night and Christmas service this morning).

Wake-Up Call was released in late 1993. John Lawry was part of the recording process but only joined the band on tour for the first leg of the Wake-Up Call tour. His last show was on New Year's Eve 1993.





(Sue, this BattePlan seems to be missing a page. Instead of page 4, page 2 is doubled. Do you still have page 4 somewhere?)

In my research for Petraspective I've found a release date of November 9th, which seems to be a bit late if you take the touring schedule from the BattePlan into account. So I might need to revise that. Does anyone happen to have some promo material or maybe an old CCM with a review that tells you the release date?

Merry Christmas everyone!

Oh, and Matthew, I also just saw the Classic Petra DVD for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

I see what you mean... my original files don't have a scan of the missing page. Hmmm... I don't know if I have the original Battle Plan or not -- many of these papers came from a fan - and I sent them back to him.

I'll have to dig....

Pfreak,

I'm pretty postive it was late April early May of 1993 when it was released. I got it the week my uncle passed away and he passed April 29th of '93. I also got a copy for a friend graduating from High School in 1993.

How did this thread get mangled into the other?

It always does doesn't it?

I recently downloaded a file from the Word Distribution site. It has a list with all CDs, cassettes, videos and promo material that they've released for Petra and it gives a release date of October 22nd, 1993. So I guess in the end we both seem to be mistaken. I'd like to find out when CCM reviewed the album. Does anyone have some CCM magazines from 1993? Can you check when they reviewed Wake-Up Call? That should point us in the right direction.

The first Petra album that I actually got as soon as it was released was God Fixation. I think I only got Double Take well before release date, but that was because they pushed back release date four months when the album was already finished. A friend of mine got a prerelease and made me a copy. Nowadays I prefer waiting till an album is fully released. I'm not much into listening preview snippets. But when JAH was about to be released, I really played those two prereleased songs (JAH, Till Everything I Do) hundreds of times.
