John L. Cooper / Skillet

Petra was the first band I ever loved. Not only did they rock, but they taught me scripture, encouraged me to stand up for Jesus, and helped fan my faith into a flame. They were trailblazers, pioneers, missionaries, evangelists—and rockers like me are standing on their shoulders.
- John L Cooper / Skillet


John Elefante / formerly of Kansas

Petra was much deeper than just a Christian rock band. I slowly realized after I worked with them throughout the years, that their ministry was the epicenter of what they did, and I never knew that Music could have that kind of effect on people’s lives. It truly was a life-changing experience for me.
- John Elefante


Kevin Young / Disciple

“My life was forever changed the day I heard Petra. They helped shape me lyrically, musically, and most important of all spiritually. They have been the soundtrack of my life. Their music was a constant companion to me as I went to Jesus in worship, in prayer, in desperation, and in friendship and love. This band is one of God’s greatest gifts to me.”
- Kevin Young / Disciple

Pairing of one the best Christian Bands of all time and the touch of Girder Re-mastering is Glori...

I still remember being introduced to Petra at church by our youth leaders and then exchanging cassettes at Church Camp and then borrowing the first Petra album from the kid on the school bus! Such an impression they made on me! Of course my mother made my brother and I handwrite ALL the lyrics out by hand because you know back then they were not printed inside the tapes! She wanted to make sure that her boys weren't listening to any of that devil music..... of course through the process of this exercise we got her full blessing because Bob and the guys had such an amazing commitment to writing tunes based on the Bible and on ministry! She ended up buying her own albums - lol! But this... this set has exceeded my expectations for clarity of sound, fullness of all instruments and sounds like it was just recorded yesterday!

Knowing that Bob and John have worked with Girder to make this set come to market is one more solid reason to jump on this!

Kudoo's to the people who put together the book inside as well! Exactly one of the reasons I LOVE this whole set! I sat down and read it front to back and loved seeing the pictures and trading cards! What a concept! Do this for ALL the bands - WhiteHeart, Barnabas, DeGarmo & Key, Sweet Comfort Band and the list could go on and on! Give the writers extra $$$!!!!!

Do NOT hesitate if you have questions about quality! Buy this even if you have EVERY Petra album! SO nice to put these discs in and listen - it's like Bob did it just for me!

Legendary Pioneers!!

Back in 1986, when, as an impressionable 18 year old, I first ended up at college, I was looking around my 'new' town trying to find a church to settle into. I met a friend in my new digs, Shane. He not only introduced me to his church, which I'm still associated with 37 years later, but he also lent me a cassette-tape.

This was "Not of This World" by you know who! I had no idea, in 1986, apart from Cliff Richard, that Christians did Contemporary Rock Music. I have never looked back, and have been a huge fan of CCM since that time. Petra was responsible for this, with amazingly clear and uplifting lyrics, cracking musicianship and excellent production values.

This Shane had a lot to answer for, as I met my future wife, Sandy, at this new church, and she also had an extensive CCM collection, including lots and lots of Petra. What more could a young chap need?!!

Thank you releasing this amazing 50th Anniversary compilation. Bob has chosen some excellent tracks, although my wife misses "the Colouring Song", and I miss "Send Revival" and the sublime "Heart of a Hero", otherwise, it is a pretty perfect little collection, bringing back lots of very fond memories.

At the Hammersmith Odeon back in the mid-90's, they played a first class set to a half-empty auditorium (such is the way with CCM support in the UK), but the guys put their hearts and souls into that performance. At the end of that concert, we bowed our heads in prayer, they prayed, we looked up, no Petra - Legends.

Too much Petra!!!

This set sounds fantastic!! Listening to it even as I write this. Always one of my favorite bands, Christian or otherwise. First time to see them live was This Means War tour with Steven Curtis Chapman opening. Realize I may have a problem. Like many I have the Ultimate Collection, the old War and Remembrance on StarSong, and other compilations as well as regular releases. Thanks Girder, but I’m going on a Petra buying fast for now. Love the new set, appreciate all the hard work and dedication!

Petra 50

Once again Girder has killed again with this amazing package. Always go far above what I expected. The work they put into this and knowing Petra was involved too makes it even better. Petra has been (my band) for a very very long time. I never thought my kids would be able to experience Petra live. They have and love them. I will support what you all have put out with the reissues of their albums. Thank you again for a truly wonderful experience with the 50 year crazy compilation. Good job Girder and thank you Petra for listening to God’s voice.
