Prodigal 30th Anniversary Limited Edition 3 Cd Set (Prodigal, Electric Eye, Just Like Real Life)

Christian rock band Prodigal entire discography available for the first time ever with this 30 Anniversary Limited Edition 3-CD set. Includes remastered full length albums, Prodigal (1982), Electric Eye (1984), and Just Like Real Life (1985); a reintroduction to the music of Loyd Boldman, Rick Fields, Mike Wilson, and Dave Workman. 1982 to 1985 seems like a blip on the radar screen, but almost an eternity in the lifespan of a rock band. That was the span between Prodigal's first album to its last, Just Like Real Life. Since then, a small but fiercely loyal fan base has waited for the eventual re-release of the recordings in a digital format. Neither these, nor the second album Electric Eye which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2014, have officially been on released CD. Heartland Records went out of business soon after the release of the third Prodigal album, Just Like Real Life in the mid '80's. The Prodigal library of analog recordings went into storage for about 20 years. The occurrence that made any thoughts of a digital release feasible was the donation of the complete Prodigal tape library by the former owner of Heartland Records to (vocalist, keyboardist) Loyd Boldman, one of the original members of Prodigal." Interest in the band and these albums continued to grow. "A major influence on our discussions about whether or not to restore the tapes was the blossoming of the social media community," Fields said. "We became aware, through all the different forms of social connectivity on the Internet, that there were still fans out there that had worn out their vinyl and cassettes and would be willing to 're-up' for a digital version of their favorite Prodigal album." In January of 2014, an unnamed benefactor approached the group as 'just a fan who wanted to make sure that the Prodigal catalog survives' and helped make the financing of the project a reality.
