cult classic

[John A Swartz]

While not wanting to get further into re-hashing the Cult Classic
discussion here, why the songs were re-recorded is discussed in the
FAQ, but bassically:

Stephen King wanted to use "The Reaper" for the TV mini-series adaptation
of his novel, "The Stand".  Columbia/CBS/Sony owned the rights to the
song, so they couldn't just use the original version.  So, BOC re-did
the song, and got a one CD deal with Herald records to re-record a bunch
of old material.
