QUEENSRYCHE "queen of the ryche" EP on 206 RECORDS
the original INDEPENDENT album, NOT the EMI re-release. VERY RARE.
Comments:
• Rare 1982 original private pressing 206 label (206 is an area code in greater Seattle area)!
• First Queensryche EP! 4 songs in their raw form (before remixing for major label EMI release)!
• There were TWO versions of this record. BMI and ASCAP! • This is the much rarer ASCAP version!

Review by Eduardo Rivadavia
Before establishing themselves as both a commercial and a progressive metal force, Seattle's Queensrÿche dealt classic metal steeped in English tradition. In fact, their 1983 self-titled debut EP, while largely ignored in America, became a sensation in the U.K. and Europe. The band displays an obvious Iron Maiden influence in their early songs, which often featured "dungeons and dragons" lyrical themes. Their classic "Queen of the Reich" is one such example (with a hilariously primitive adventure video to boot), while "The Lady Wore Black" displays more maturity — a sign of things to come. EMI scored an extra point when issuing the CD version by adding "Prophecy," a phenomenal outtake from the Rage for Order sessions that helps make this a must-have release for Queensrÿche fans.
