Steven Patrick - Red Reign

Just wanted to clarify that this album ( Red Reign) has not been reissued or re-released, nor have I given license to anyone to do so. My attorney is looking into the matter and I have sent a letter as well. There are no plans to re-release this album, as it is a collectors item and was originally sold in a limited quantity with that intention. Any new Steven Patrick albums in the future will also be released in a limited quantity and will not be re-issued.

I have had a lot of retro record companies who want to re-release this album and I have said no to all of them. I didn't make the album with the intention of making money, but as a collectors item of previously unreleased material that I had written and recorded from 1991 to 1994. As far as the attorney, I have an attorney within my family that takes care of any legal issues that could ever come up and that includes music as well, and he simply does and pursues what I don't have the time or the resorces to pursue. So hes just looking into the matter for me to protect what is mine and to protect the value of the CD for those who purchased it through E-bay or when it was or originally offered.

Following are several quotes from Stephen Patrick at the Holy Soldier Fan Forum made in December of 2006:
