The Girder treatment was fantastic and the quality of the music never sounded better.

SUCH AN AWESOME RECORD! ‘opened and on my turntable within 2 minutes of the UPS guy handing it to me. i wasn’t sure what to expect. The Sound quality is amazing. I had the cassette back in the day and it’s so awesome to hear these songs with such clarity now. The Bass is perfect. Whoever mastered these did a phenomenal job!

Excellent Album

I was really excited to see that Girder released a vinyl copy of this album and Beyond Belief, and they both sound great! Very well made vinyls! This is one of my favorite old school Petra albums from the John Schlitt era.
