Info: This is the proper debut MINI-LP by Cities released in 1985. It has the same title as the full-length released a year later in 1986. The full length has these 6 songs, but in slightly different versions as a different drummer (I think) did drums and the mix is different, vocal parts are different, and the intro to "Not Alone In The Dark" is gone. This is the superior sounding version!! I first bought this brand new in late 1985, so I heard this first. Only years later did I find out it came out as a full length too with the same coverart and a near identical layout. Very weird. I have been wanting to rip my mini-LP forever and finally got my vinyl ripper fixed. So here it is in all its glory. This Mini-LP version has never seen a re-issue as far as I know. All the re-issues are the full-length version.

Exquisite NY Power Metal!!!! Top of the line! One of the best releases of the 80's!! I worship this Mini-LP!!!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Scanned and ripped from my personal collection.
I included some scans from the net because I cannot scan an entire LP cover on my scanner....it's not big enough, so it's scanned in 2 parts.

CULT piece, bass lines and riffin' in MAIDEN meets SABBATH galloping manner, killer riffin' and lead guitars by Mr. Mironovich, great epic vocals by RON ANGELL , bit reminiscent of the great OMEN(and the whole approach comes like an ATTACKER, OMEN early HADES mix)!! Songs #1,3,4,6 were my all time faves and still are!!MIKAEL, many thanx man for sharing this in the very convenient mp3 format, CHEERS!!! porosimetal
