TRACKLIST:
Artist : Stryper Country : USA Release : 7: The Best Of Stryper Year : 2003 Genre : Hard Rock File Type : mp3 320 Info:
"Seven-The Best of Stryper" is the most comprehensive overview of the
band's career to date. Unlike the previous compilation, 1991's "Can't
Stop The Rock", every song on "Seven" was hand-picked by the members of
Stryper themselves. Because of this, "Seven" includes classics that best
define Stryper's music and ministry. Most of the band's best known
songs are featured here including "Calling On You", "Free", "Always
There For You", "Reach Out", "Soldiers Under Command", "From Wrong To
Right", "To Hell With the Devil" and their beloved ballad "Honestly".
Songs from their lesser-known period are included as well such as their
cover of Earth, Wind and Fire's "Shining Star", "Lady" and their 1991
anthem "Believe".
The greatest news about this CD is that it includes
two brand new songs recorded by the original Stryper line-up, it's
first new material in 12 years! Both "Something" and "For You" display a
mature sound and clearly show that even after not playing together for
12 years, the band still can heat it up.

TRACKLIST:
Artist : Stryper Artist Origin : USA Release Title : The Yellow And Black Attack (Reissue) Release Year : 1984 Artist Genre : Hard Rock File Type : mp3 320 Info:
The Yellow and Black Attack is the first release from the Christian
metal band Stryper. No singles were released from this six-song EP, and
fewer than 20,000 copies were pressed, as their label, Enigma Records,
was unsure of the potential market for Christian metal. CCM Magazine was
slightly critical, citing production quality and the short length of
the release, but commented that "Stryper has the promise of a major
success story.
After Stryper achieved major success with their debut
full-length album, Soldiers Under Command, The Yellow and Black Attack
EP was reissued. Re-released on August 10, 1986 with two additional
songs, "Reason for the Season" (which was originally released on a 1985
Christmas-themed 12" single with "Winter Wonderland") and a new,
mellowed-down version of "My Love I'll Always Show", which dates from
their Roxx Regime days. The version recorded for The Yellow and Black
Attack featured less obvious Christian lyrics than the one to feature on
The Roxx Regime Demos. Additionally, the original six tracks were
remixed, with a major reduction in reverb the most notable change.
Even
though The Yellow and Black Attack was originally an EP, critics now
consider it to be a full album, their second album. Nevertheless, their
next release, Soldiers Under Command is still regarded as the band's
full-length debut.

Flashback
to 1983 and the band is named Roxx Regime. In an attempt to get a
record deal, the band puts together a demo tape and is subsequently
signed to a deal with Enigma Records. Once the deal was ready to sign,
the band changed their name to Stryper and the rest is history! This is
supposedly the original demo with no overdubs and/or re-recordings. What
you get on this disc is a band that is very polished and energetic for a
new set of rockers. The quality of the recordings are raw and harder
than their commercially released counterparts. It’s pretty good for a
demo, very listenable.
Five of the first six songs (‘My Love I’ll
Always Show’ being the exception), ended up on the original E.P., THE
YELLOW AND BLACK ATTACK (1984). That E.P., along with ‘My Love I’ll
Always Show’, and a new song called ‘Reason For The Season’, were
re-released as a full album under the same name in 1986 on Hollywood
Records after their second album, SOLDIERS UNDER COMMAND (1985) went
gold in the U.S.
This version of ‘Honestly’ pre-dates the 1986
version from TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL and it is of poor quality. It could
just be the recording because this is damn close to the album version,
including the harmonies. The drum solo by Robert Sweet, ‘Tank’, is a
throwaway…..I never consider Robert Sweet when the conversation turns to
great drummers and I’m not going to start now. Plus, it’s only 44
seconds long!
