This is interesting.

It's very interesting to see the Taker CD(s) are rereleased.
An other band who might be on a rerelease is September.
I like that band.

It seems the interest for older bands is up to date.
It's wonderful on this way we can listen to some very cool bands from the 80's.
Hope more bands are coming. 
I'm sure there are more "hidden jewels" from the 80's that only released their stuff on cassettes.

There are probably several dozen 80's Christian hard rock and metal bands that I have never even heard of. It would be cool to see more of them get reissued/rereleased.

I'm for it.

I'm for it as well. Has Dual Edge ever been reissued?

Did that crazy metal head, Phil Keaggy, ever re-release the Phil Keaggy Band's "Emerging"?  That's what he needs to do instead of re-recording True Believer over and over (though that is an excellent song).  I love Phil.  Just wish he'd get his first six albums back out there.

I'd love to see Judea release anything they've ever done.  Heart of Stone and Knock are brilliant songs, and I bet that somewhere they've recorded other stuff, even if it's just 'basement demo' stuff.

Completely agree! 100%

I've managed to locate what the lead singer is doing at present...

...although when I say "present" I'm not actually sure when it was!

I personally love it when there is something from the 80's that may not have been signed to the labels that gets remastered and issued on CD for the first time.  I love that era of music, and I would rather buy two or three albums of that style than 30 modern rock CDs.  I am getting tired of unmemorable riffs and generic sounding singers.  At least in the 80's, songs had discernable riffs (regardless of genre) and the best bands had a singer you could instantly recognize.

Exactly. Modern rock is starting to all sound the same to my ear. Of course, i'm pretty old.

Bill from Roxx Productions was wanting to re-release their stuff when he was part of Intense Millenium.  But I believe he said that the people that actually own the rights to Intense said that they didn't own any Dual Edge stuff.

Same here.

Indeed!
