We want you to know just how special we have worked to make these treasured releases SPECIAL for fans who have waited and waited and waited for these three albums to receive the care and treatment that COLLECTOR'S CRAVE!  Well, we spared no expense to give you the very best reissues on the planet. 

It literally took YEARS and YEARS of trying and trying and trying some more - before everything fell into place.  We would like to thank Believer and also Roadrunner Records for this opportunity to promote the band's legacy and show our support to one of the greatest bands ever to grace this planet we call earth.  

All three of these albums as well as the band Believer hold a very special place in the hearts of literally every single staff/person at Brutal Planet/Bombworks/Retroactive records and Boone's Overstock.  In fact, owner/CEO Matthew Hunt claims "Sanity Obscure" as his favorite thrash album of all time (maybe metal album of all-time - period).  As he sat on the stage in the middle of a Cornfield Tent in Bushnell, Illinois for Cornerstone Festival 1991 and watched the orchestra jam with the progressive speed metal of Believer, his life was changed forever.  It was a magical experience that left him speechless (almost impossible!). 

It has been a pleasure for us to immerse ourselves into these albums once again, and reward all the faithful fans with reissues done the right way.  

Thank you for taking the time to look, listen, and enjoy.  This is one band who will not disappoint.  

Feel free to share your memories and experiences with us in the comments section of this Blog.  We want to hear from you!

Also, don't forget we have elite reissues on CD and double vinyl of the magnificent albums TRANSHUMAN and GABRIEL (vinyl have posters!) in stock - right now at Boone's Overstock.
