The collectors single comes in a specially commissioned poster bag format that echoes the original 1985 poster edition release (Both recordings are taken from the recently recorded ‘Strength’ and ‘Majority’ CD’s released by Twenty First Century earlier this year). 

Initially, this special format release will only be available exclusively at concerts throughout the North American Strength Tour which starts in Washington DC on September 8th (For tour dates and tickets, please click here).
