Comments: I believe this is Rosanna's Raiders' first album.  It was originally released only in their home country of Australia, and only on cassette, I think.  I always thought it was a pretty good album and wished it would get reissued on CD someday, and in 2007 it actually was!  The Fire From Heaven double disc anthology reissue on Retroactive Records was awesome enough to include this album along with the other two albums of theirs that were released in the USA on Pure Metal and Refuge.  The title track is the only song that was rerecorded on a later project.  All the others, as far as I know, are exclusive to this release.  There's a 1994 Australian compilation on Rowe Records titled Godspeed that also has "Mr. Magic", but I'm not sure (yet) if it's this original recorded version or a later re-recorded version prepared specifically for that release.
