I originally sent a vinyl rip of this to Strappado to post a number of years back. The links are now dead. However, this rip is from the same record, but is a completely different recording. I prefer this to the one that was originally posted. This is a great band. Dan Dark rules! I have this on a Metal Blade CD from way back. I was talking to Matt at Divebomb Records and he told me some time ago that he had talked to the singer about releasing this, 'Electrikiss,' and the 'Fireraiser' EP. He wanted to give these releases the deluxe Divebomb treatment. Torch's singer, however, said that he was not interested in looking back but only looking forward. I suspect that it may have had more to do with the band not having rights to their original music than a lack of wishing to re-issue the albums.
