Nice Mass haul. I haven't listened to their whole catalog yet. It's on the to do list. Love Roxx Records. The 50% sale is wonderful. It's a must buy event for me.
This particular haul of yours has MASS appeal, Tim! Good on ya! I've loved this band since first hearing 'em in '89! Louis St. August is one of the nicest and most genuine people I've ever had the privilege to converse with. I, too, found many goodies at the ROXX Black Friday sale... Placed a healthy order then came back later for round two. Felt like a kid in a candy store the whole time! Blessings, brother! -Kent
MASS appeal!! LOL! Yes!! I was hoping someone would pick up on my MASSive pun! Thanks Kent ;). I just saw that you interviewed Louis St. August. Very cool. I need to check that out.
You beat me to discovering the band by about a year, Rex! I just picked up "When 2 Worlds Collide" recently! (thanks to Kent's referral :). I've only listened to it briefly but need to put it back on the CD player again here soon. A lot of people seem to like that one the most. Here's hoping they make another record soon. "Worlds" was 2018...they're due for another album :)
I have most of their CDs except for the compilation one called Best Ones and the Christmas EP. I have 4 of the LPs. I first heard of them back around 1988 then there was a small blurb in Metal Edge stating that Michael Sweet would be producing Voices in the Night and Oz Fox would be producing FIrst Watch by Guardian which both were released on Enigma Records in 1989. I bought their albums a few years ago. Some of the members of MASS have jobs so there is another album being worked on for a while. I never got anything for the Black Friday sales as the items I want weren't marked down or at least very much as they were brand new releases or new reissues. I find that the retailers Boones and Girder tend to down older inventory that has been out for a few years or old pressings. There wasn't anything on ROXX that I wanted. Also, there is a nation wide strike on Canada Postal workers so I will wait until after the strike is over to order anything where some retailers will use the regular US Post and then Canada Post when it comes across the border. I may pick up something on Amazon through their distribution channels. I also want to get the new Saint CD and LP through Richard Lynch but I'll get that when the postal strike ends.
Heard about that postal strike. Prayers that it ends soon. Thanks, as always, Michael, for the great comments. Love your insight into Christian Rock history.
Sadly, Brad, I'm pretty sure the sale is long over. IIRC it was only for 48 hours, I think. If I'd known about it ahead of time, I would have shared about it. I'll be watching for it again next year!
@@TimRistow No problem Tim. I was kind of hoping for a Cyber Monday sale. But on the bright side of things, I saved 100%. Didn't cost me a dime. =) Merry Christmas

Agreed! The Roxx sale is now on my calendar for every year: pick up the turkey then head online to catch the Roxx sale! 😄

50% off! Wonder if the sales still going on? Next stop Roxx Records. Thanks for the tip.
Got a go. God Bless. =)

@@Brad-S Excellent point! 😀
Mass is a Catholic band? If only they gave us a clue…😂. Good video, Tim. Grateful for Bill and Roxx. Rock On!
I know! They need to work on that name, huh?! Lol! Agreed about Bill and Roxx! Very much appreciate him and Roxx Records.
Mass it’s not even a Christian band why is everybody pushing them as a Christian band?
Curious. Why do you think they aren't "Christian"?
