There’s no denying soul food is delicious. You know it’s real when a meal takes you straight home or to the best place you’ve never been.  Fried ham, Mac & Cheese, shrimp, greens, beans, fried fish, hushpuppies, and cornbread.  It’s the kind of food that reaches deep inside of you, and makes that world a better place – a place you want to be for a long time!  That’s what makes this release schedule for October 2021 so special. These releases aren’t just titles Girder and Boone’s think they can sell.  Every single one of the music icons and albums coming have been soul music for music fans world-wide (including for the staffs at Boone’s and Girder!). We love this music, and experience pure delight we get to offer you high quality, remastered albums with deluxe packaging this very month!  These titles are the one’s fans have asked for repeatedly, and now you get them!  Read carefully, and plan ahead.  As usual, these are limited edition titles.

October 29nd – Stay tuned….this is something special.

I'm definitely going to get the PETRA - NOT OF THIS WORLD CD, the other Petra CDs I will have to think about.

The Bride reissues will depend on what the bonus tracks are.

I may also pick up Rick Cua's Wear Your Colors CD

I was hoping for some Extreme Metal. It seems like Boone's has gotten away from it more lately (even the 2 Crimson Thorn CDs were an afterthought that was not advertised at all and no vinyl) and all three (Boone's, Girder, Roxx) are releasing a lot of stuff that isn't even Metal (though Girder has always done this). For me, a lot of this "Hard" Rock stuff is of no interest, though I'm sure it sells better overall. I'm hoping Matt Hunt will finally get around to releasing Paramaecium - Within the Ancient Forest on CD and vinyl like he said he would (even if it won't move as quickly as this stuff).

P.S. The Believer re-issues make no sense. You can buy those new at Metal Blade Records right now for cheaper than Boone's is gonna offer these.

I gotta get the Rick Cus albums!

Finally Petra - Washes Whiter Than and Never Say Die as their own CDs.  I wonder if someone at Girder read my posts about Petra?  Maybe it was planned anyway?  I'll get those for sure!

Bride?  The first three again?  Maybe they qualify for the thread about albums with the most reissues.

good one, lol

I would say the number of Bride reissues is still much less than the number of side project albums featuring Dale

Very true but they're at least original music, not the hundredth reissues with a few new bonus tracks each.

You can! You will!

The collector in me, who foolishly spends money on cds, movies, and autographs that I don't need, wants all the Bride and Petra discs even though I already have them. 

Petra because of the upgraded remaster quality and the fact that NSD and WWT have never been on their own CD before (I have the 2-in-1), Bride because of the bonus tracks and because I HATE the packaging from The Original series I have.

But..


The more I think about it, I like a couple of tunes on Never Say Die, but it pales in comparison to More Power To Ya, it hasn't really aged well, and I pretty much never listen to it. Washes Whiter Than is definitely one that the ONLY appeal for me is the collectability as I don't even like the album..hahahahaha.

As for Bride, it would really be nice to hear a sample of the bonus tracks before I decide.

All re-issues?
