Rage - Perfect Man (1988)

Well, I'm listening to Rage's "Perfect Man" now on YouTube. From what I've read, it's one of the best of the band's long catalogue, so it's rather a shame that it's hard for me to find on CD. Sitting at the computer listening to an album is something I just find a bit difficult, with too many distractions, and a less comfortable seat.  I'd much rather sit in a lounge chair, put a CD in, have the booklet before me and take it from there.
Buuuuttt, beggers can't be choosers. :-) And this does sound like a really good album, certainly better than "Execution Guaranteed" - it's catchy, fast and heavy, even if not 'true' power metal (to my limited understanding, anyway).
It seems that after "Execution", the group split for a short while, before Peter Wagner brought it together again with two new members, to make Rage a trio, and a trio that was to go on to much success.
Favourite songs for me include "Wasteland" and "Don't Fear The Winter". I look forward to more from Rage, and it remains a shame that I haven't been able to get hold of this album, at least at a reasonable price.
