Soldier / Taker Gems Volume One Yellow Vinyl Edition

Roxx Records is excited to bring you a brand-new Limited-Edition series entitled Roxx GEMS! What is Roxx GEMS you ask? Roxx GEMS is a new series that will focus on many special underground metal and rock releases that may not have otherwise been able to get a vinyl or CD remastered release. Items originally released in short run, cassette only demo tapes, or maybe previously unreleased GEMS from bands that have let us in to their archives. It may even feature a focus on a special instrumental artist from days gone by. Who knows what direction this may take but we know one thing for sure these will all be one time only limited edition runs. How ever you look at it, it means more great Classic Christian rock and Metal for your enjoyment, and today we announce Roxx GEMS Volume I and Volume II Volume I will feature two legendary and classic Christian metal artists from the 80's and 90's. Up first on Side A the legendary Bay Area West Coast band SOLDIER will grace the first 4 tracks of the Gems series including 4 previously unreleased tracks. These special 4 tracks were recorded in 1992, when the band would go into the studio and record a 4-track demo after the interest of a record label prompted a very brief reunion. These tracks were ultimately shelved since they were recorded and released briefly as part of our 2-disc set Babylon & Beyond which is sold out, but never on vinyl or stand-alone CD! Volume I will also feature on side B a legendary artist from the other side of the US on the East Coast with Christian rockers TAKER. Here we will feature the bands debut 4 track cassette only demo as well as an additional rehearsal track previously unreleased that was recorded in 1987 shortly after their debut cassette only demo titled 'Matthew 11:12' There you have it Roxx GEMS Volume's I & II will be released simultaneously as ONE TIME ONLY pressings on limited edition heavy weight colored vinyl and CD. Volume I will be on yellow vinyl. The CD versions will also be limited edition pressings housed in a jewel case with 4 panel inserts mirroring the vinyl products.
