Comments: Many of these might come from demos, but I don't have any of them.  Barren Cross re-recorded this song for their 2nd album, Atomic Arena on Enigma.  The two Neon Cross songs were not included on their 1988 self-titled Regency debut, and until the 2001 M8 re-release of the debut, were only available on this release.  Gardian changed their name to Guardian, and re-recorded track 2 as a bonus track on the CD version of their '89 Enigma debut, First Watch.  These 2 Gardian tracks, as well as the 2 Deliverance tracks have also been recently reissued on M8 releases.  The Mastedon track can be found on a few other compilations, but was not released on either of their 2 albums.  I'm not aware of any official Hero releases or demos which might have had one or both of these tracks.
