Savatage "Streets: A Rock Opera - Narrated Version"

On September 27, 2013 EarMusic Records released a 31-track narrated version of the album, which also includes the previously unreleased song "Larry Elbows" and the original version of "Jesus Saves", making it the most complete version ever released.

 This version restores all the spoken word intros before each song that were not included on the initial release (with the exception of the "Jesus Saves" intro). It also has new artwork, a variation of the original album's back cover (the white Charvel guitar with the roses, this time against a nighttime city backdrop).

This edition replaces the version of "Jesus Saves" that appeared on the first pressing of the album with the one that was included on the "From the Gutter to the Stage" compilation, and which the band claims is the "original" one.
