It's taken nearly 23 years, but we did it.
For the first time ever in the USA you can now get your hands on Petra Beyond Belief, Unseen Power and Wake Up Call on 180 gram colored vinyl. Originally only 2 of the 3 were released in the UK and Brazil on vinyl, but none of them were ever released in the USA on vinyl. We did these right. They are fully remastered, 180 gram color records with printed sleeves, lyrics, photos and hype sticker.
