Riot "Archives Volume Three: 1987-1988 (CD+DVD, High Roller Records, HRR 555 CD)"

Riot Archives Vol.3 features a wealth of unreleased recordings, e.g. interesting rough mix versions of Thundersteel, album tracks such as Thundersteel itself, Fight Or Fall, Sign Of The Crimson Storm, the intro to Buried Alive, Flight Of The Warrior as well as the classic Johnny's Back (referring to the band's mascot Johnny the seal) and a rare instrumental rough mix version of Run For Your Life. 

Also contains demo versions of songs later to be featured on 1990's Privilege Of Power record: such as On Your Knees, Metal Soldiers and Killer (a rough version with vocals sung by a certain Joe Lynn Turner also exists in the archives). Exciter, When Lights Go Down, A Place Called Tomorrow and Liar, however, are songs not to be found on any Riot studio album!.
