About this product
Between Heaven and Hell was released in 1985, which is one of the most magical/special times in music. Something happened this year and music just began to explode with all the right combinations. This album is a perfect example. It was GOLD for Christian Rock fans. 9 out the 10 songs was huge hits for fans. A true cross-over to the mainstream, Between Heaven and Hell pulled no punches about God and ministry to others but was a directly evangelistic leaving listeners the option of drawing their own conclusion. Love Comes Down was a rather high dollar music video that saw regular rotation on MTV for a stint, something that most bands with the exception of Petra and Stryper were not able to convince labels to do. By 1985, the issue of apartheid in South Africa had come to national prominence in pop music with the of Artists United Against Apartheid's InchSun CityInch, and although REZ had already addressed the subject several years prior on 1979's Rainbow's End, InchZuid AfrikanInch reminded listeners that the issue was still of importance to the band. Between Heaven 'N Hell include the closing track, Inch2,000,Inch and InchShadows,Inch which became a live favorite due to it's unflinching depiction of the destructiveness of teenage suicide, a topic even more relevant today. Now remastered with a LTD Collectors trading card in elite quality expanded packaging with readable lyrics and photos.

![Rez Band - Bootleg - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/eee67bf7-e354-4bb6-abbb-6499ce363e32.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Bootleg was recorded live at the Odeum in Villa Park, IL (Suburb of Chicago) October 21-22, 1983, released in 1984. Bootleg was the first live album that the band ever recorded. Most live albums are not usually done well and lacked production quality however Bootleg was the exception. It had all the elements of a studio album with all the excitement of a live audience and became a fan favorite. Whitenoise (the Stu Heiss guitar solo) became our Eruption, yes I am referring to the Eddie Van Halen Eruption. It also contained one of the great medleys of the era with Waves/Awaiting Your Reply/Broken Promises/Autograph/City Streets.. Not too often does a Live album contain songs that were not on any other album. It features a mixture of the band's most popular songs as well as two new songs InchGameroomInch and InchPlaygroundInch. The album also features the only time a song from one of the band's independent cassettes was ever re-recorded for one of their official releases, Quite Enough. There are a lot of great REZ albums for sure, however this one is most likely near the top of most best-of list and for good reason. It rocks and it wasn't flooded with background audience noise. If you've ever been to the Odeum in Villa Park it was a staple of many great bands. How REZ, pulling off a live album like they did, is nothing short of astonishing. Now remastered with a LTD Collectors trading card in elite quality expanded packaging with readable lyrics and photos, you can once again enjoy this great album in all it's glory, sounding and looking better than ever.

Hostage was REZ 6th studio album, originally released in 1984. This album was a bit of a change in style for the band with songs like SOS and Armageddon Appetite, which left classic Rez fans shaking their heads in wonder. The band however did not depart completely from their rock and roll roots and gave us some the band greatest rocker such as Attention, Defective Youth and Crimes which was the bands first music video which also received some MTV airplay. Now remastered and faithfully restored with a LTD Collectors trading card in elite quality expanded packaging with readable lyrics and photos.
