While SHOK PARIS was the first act in the 80s to jump from the illustrious Auburn Records roster to a major label deal, in the back of their minds, the band always felt the release of "Steel And Starlight" lacked the same metal quotient as their indie debut. Now, for the first time anywhere, the original Auburn mix is available, complete with 5 previously unreleased bonus tracks from that same era. A rawer edge, with renewed emphasis on guitars, the original recording features a 16-page booklet, including all the lyrics, rare photos and liner notes written by Brave Words scribe Mark Gromen. Hear the music as it was always meant to sound. "After 30 years, thought I knew these songs. However, the original, Auburn recordings change everything. Missing songs and intros restored, the guitar edge in the forefront, all provide a heavier listen." Mark Gromen BraveWords.com "Steel And Starlight shows Shok Paris at the peak of their game. A masterpiece of US Metal crafted in Cleveland, Ohio." Martin Brandt That's METAL & Deaf Forever Magazines
