Comments:
[Liner from front insert] - "This project is comprised of various recordings made between 1985 and 1990.  Most of these recordings appeared on Armada's three albums, All Four One, released in 1986, Frontline, released in 1987 and Black And White, released in 1988.  The remainder of the songs represented in this project were never released before being included in this retrospective.  Armada was conceived in 1985 by John Heald and Dave Dawdy, both of whom remained members throughout the entirety of the band's five years, and Randy Carlson.  Many other players also contributed to Armada's sound and legacy, and their contributions have been faithfully preserved on these recordings.  Armada was also, more importantly, a music ministry.  We dedicated our lives to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Many of the members of Armada are still involved in music ministry, or are active members in the ministry of their local churches.  Jesus Christ is our salvation and inspiration, and we hope you will be blessed by the music He has created through us."
