In 1995 I converted all of our 1980s material (demos and vinyl appearances) to digital, using a stand-alone Philips CD recorder. I called the result: 1985/1990 Five Years of True Steel with the ironic subtitle, "Today's German Power Metal Bands Make Us Laugh", quoting a phrase said by a friend of mine from Tuscany (hi Max) who had just listened to the "Doomsday" demo.
The songs of the "Tales Of Witchunters" demo are not in the sequence of the final version released
in 1986, but in the sequence in which they were recorded in the studio.
The two vinyls from which "Deadly News" and "Possessed" are taken have never been reissued neither
on vinyl nor on CD.
The last three tracks are taken from a demo recorded with a 4-track Fostex and never released.
In addition to these tracks it also contained three other songs which were re-recorded and included in
the "Doomsday" demo.
I have included in the folder the covers of the two demos, in case anyone wants to assemble them as in
the original version... as well as some promotional material from the time.
The CD artwork is new.
