I have a confirmed report from a very reliable source that a company will be releasing tracks from the
"GUITARS
FROM HELL" / "GUITARMAGEDDON"
recordings and unreleased popular Vinnie Vincent tracks in Master Quality. These releases should be in increments of a few songs each time.. I will keep you posted, but it looks like the long wait is coming to an end.
This is not a rumor and like I said based on a very good source that I trust 100%.
I will keep everyone posted and updated on the message board when and if I hear anything new.
