The Petra Zone

wasn't this discussed way back when J & H was first released?

well, I did it...I went ahead and "burned" a homemade CD-R of it.

Well, on top of "The Best of the '80s", EMI CMG will be re-releasing two Petra classics..."More Power to Ya" and "This Means War". Both, according to the EMI's website, will be remastered and have three live bonus tracks each. Here are some sites for more information: MORE POWER TO YA (30th Annivers...

I think I will buy that album....no wait...get the mp3s together, burn it on disc, and there you go.

The release of this album is as exciting as a tooth extraction...if you know what I mean.

The gang at EMI CMG (StarSong Records) are going to do it again. :roll: They are going to release a "new" compilation called "Petra: Best of the '80s". This CD is scheduled for release on June 5, 2012. (Yawn). For more information, check this out: http://www.emicmgdistribution.com/products/detail.as...

I was just thinking about a great Petra project....How's this....Have the entire Petra catalog (excluding compilation albums) (Petra through Farewell) re-mastered. I can imagine how the older albums would sound like using today's technology. I bet the albums would sound great. Opinions?

How about either of these songs...."Magic Words", "The Great I Am", or "God Gave Rock and Roll To You"?

Hey guys,

I got this reply from Wounded Bird Records:

All of our CDs are remastered,
but there is no strict definition of the term "remastered",
we do something different on each master we work on.

If you can describe Petra in only one sentence, what would you say?

here what I would say...
"They are the godfathers of the rock-praise & worship movement."

I am SO SORRY for not posting as often as I had....been very busy with work and helping my family. I bet that you did not know this, but I got a heads up from the Petraspecive website that Petra's first two albums were recently re-re-issued on CD...this time those albums were released on ONE CD. The...

Hey guys, if anyone noticed, during the concert, there was a 6th member present....Greg Bailey (part of the "Farewell" line-up). At the concert, he was the conductor for the string section.

Hey two things...

#1 It's been a while since I posted anything on the Zone, but I am still around. Just busy with work and helping my older sister and her family.

#2 When there is a confirmation of when TBN will air Petra, let us know.

Who would consider the best female-lead Christian Rock Bands? This can include solo-artists too.

Here is my top 5

5. Rosanna's Raiders

Hey guys, I don't know if you know this, but Petra's first praise album (" Petra Praise: The Rock Cries Out ") came out 20 years ago this year. Sheesh, 1989 seems like it was yesterday. This album which was an experimental album would be a landmark album for future "modern" praise and worship albums...
