Ah righty that will be part of the GUN reissues of double or triple
sets of related albums (by time and/or them) by Rage, Grave Digger,
Running Wild, and one or two others I think.  Excellent value.  I got
a Grave Digger triple and an older Rage double this way.

I had Ghosts previously and it did take some sinking in until I dug
it, and haven't heard the other two CDs.  I suspect they are better
placed doing stuff they've done more recently like on Unity, but as
you said it's good that they change and try different things.

hear hear! make that HEAR HEAR !!!

Now that we've covered Rage, I think it's also a bummer that many here
just don't dig Nightwish.  Their style isn't going to appeal to
everyone I must admit, but they really do need a chance.  My first CD
was Oceanborn and at first it was "what the hell is this" and after a
month it was "what a fucking great CD!".  Century Child is a fantastic
CD which I think is a good move forward for them, being heavier and
darker and having male vocals (I discount the voiceover type stuff on
the previous couple of records, and Tuomas' aweful attempts on the
first CD).
