The sound is ok, but all booklets are very poorly made in these CD series.

I was kind of hoping that the series would include more titles that were not released on CD format prior...

I didn't know Torch was one of them, so that's another one to add...

Not sure of anymore??

I'm referring back to Avengers first post. He's saying that he has the Torch in this series??

The OMEN, HALLOW'S EVE, HELSTAR etc CDs of those series were released in the mid 90s i think. The catalogue was printed with photos of the albums' front cover on the back cover (the side you see inside the jewel case), i don't remember any TORCH album on it. Is it the same series?

I have both "Fireraiser" and "Torch" on some cheapish Metal Blade pressings. I will check them out this evening.

I also have Show No Mercy, that was released under the same serie, and if I remember right Hell Awaits was released there too.

Yes sir.

And just to clarify for every one, this series was released in 1990.

This is a series released in '90/'91.

This is the logo that I'm looking for:

Wow, never saw that version of "Ample Destruction" before. Kinda like the cover actually.
