fantastic interview with the rock vets:
Christian rockers, Stryper, release covers album
Written by
PATRICK DOUGLAS
There are two words that by themselves attract followers around the world. Put together, they seem to alienate one side or the other — Christian rock.
Christian rock has been around since the '60s but few bands have achieved the type of mainstream success Stryper has. To this day, their 1986 record, "To Hell With the Devil," is the best-selling Christian rock album of all time, eventually selling more than 2 million copies.
Staples on MTV in the '80s, Stryper never had a problem fitting in with contemporaries such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, and there's an easy explanation.

Friends share love of vinyl by opening Ribbon Records
By Danielle Hatch
PEORIA — Peorian Dan Plaag has been collecting music since he was a kid. It started with a CD of Led Zeppelin’s “Four,” and his collection eventually expanded to include vinyl records — more than 2,000 of them.
“I was always fascinated with records, how the sound could be coming off this little piece of plastic with a needle,” said Plaag, 27, who works as an electrician.
His love of records — and fondness for the hunt that goes along with the collector’s lifestyle — prompted him to start Ribbon Records, a vinyl consignment shop in the Murray Building Downtown. He runs the store with friend Noah Lambert

Spotlight: A love for vinyl
BY LUKE VOELZ
Kirk Walther gazed into the briefcase of a man known as Warren Peace.
"It's a little warped," said Peace, plucking out a plastic-wrapped parcel from within the leathery confines. "So I'll give it to you for $5."
Walther had done business with the old man, who wore faded jeans and a dirty brown jacket, several times in the past. Most of the time his prices were too high. But that day, at a 1985 Chicago record convention, this offer seemed too good to pass up.
"Deal," said Walther and walked away with an original vinyl copy of the Jimmy Hendrix Experience's Axis: Bold as Love. He later priced the album at more than $2,000.
Walther, who owns the Record Collector, 116 S. Linn St., has made many shrewd deals to make profits in an industry with uncertain futures: FYE and Real Music have closed and left his shop as the only independent music vendor in the Iowa City area.

Rival Sons Posts New Album "Pressure & Time" Artwork
Californian blues-rockers Rival Sons have revealed the cover art for their forthcoming album, "Pressure & Time," which is due to be released on June 20th. The album art was designed by artist Storm Thorgerson. The band is also planning to release a limited edition vinyl version of the album.
Thorgerson discusses the artwork: "I don't think you can be certain what's going on here. To me it's a picture about fear or concern. Here's someone about to descend and doesn't know what they'll face, or where this might lead. So, in his mind he's imagining the action. That's what you see - into his mind, as he focuses on what's about to happen. When he gets to the bottom of the stairs, where does he go? Turn left, right or straight ahead - anything's possible. And I hope this cover will have fans of the band intrigued for a long while. To me, the cover should be part of the album, and not just packaging."
