CD W/ JEWEL CASE – LIMITED TO A ONE-TIME 500 PC PRESSING
Roxx Records proudly introduces Roxx GEMS, a brand-new Limited-Edition series celebrating rare and special Christian rock releases. This series highlights hidden treasures—whether originally released in short runs, cassette-only demos, or never-before-heard tracks from deep within band archives. Each release is a one-time-only pressing, making these CDs must-haves for collectors and fans of classic Christian rock and metal.
Roxx GEMS Volume I features two legendary Christian metal bands from the ‘80s and ‘90s. On the first half of the album, the Bay Area’s SOLDIER delivers four previously unreleased tracks recorded in 1992. These songs originate from a brief studio reunion prompted by label interest but remained shelved until their inclusion in the now sold-out Babylon & Beyond two-disc set. For the first time ever, these tracks appear on a stand-alone CD.
The second half of Volume I showcases East Coast Christian rockers TAKER, featuring their debut four-track cassette demo along with an additional previously unreleased rehearsal track recorded in 1987, shortly after their Matthew 11:12 demo.
This limited-edition CD mirrors the vinyl release with a jewel case and a four-panel insert. With only 500 copies available, Roxx GEMS Volume I is an essential addition to any Christian metal collection.
