The fact that "The bell" was an absolute highlight of the German heavy metal of the eighties remained hidden from many fans, especially because of the moderate distribution. Thanks to the strong song material, some fans in southern Germany became aware of STRANGER and the LP found its way to many turntables and then to the other special treasures in the vinyl cabinet, which meant high prices for collectors who became aware of the band a little too late. Now the album by Fleming Rasmussen, who became famous in the scene through his production work for METALLICA, PRETTY MAIDS, RAINBOW and many others, is finally remastered on a digital sound carrier. Why will some new metal workers ask themselves why all this effort? Quite simply,"The Bell" is a classic that deserves the best and the joy of playing, which distinguished many German bands in the eighties, shows the album particularly impressively, as well as the high quality of the bands that signed with Gama-Records. With their debut, STRANGER made a further contribution to the good reputation of German Heavy Metal, especially abroad, which other bands like NOISEHUNTER, GRAVESTONE or STORMWITCH had already cemented in the best way
