-21grams, as far as I know, AOR Heaven has indeed never reissued "Raid". The one you saw at NEH Records is presumably also the Krescendo reissue. Unfortunately the original Japanese pressing of this album is pretty hard to find... usually it goes for a very high price on eBay. So the sad option if someone wants to have the CD at reasonable price, is to buy this unofficial reissue.

“Money down the drain”

You know, on top of everything else I have to be on the lookout for potential scum :-x
Rumour(?) has it most -if not all- of Krescendo Records' releases (they only do reissues) are of questionable quality; some go further classifying them as bootlegs :shock:
[Source: MelodicRock.com]
Complaints about unpaid royalties to the respective artists have been surfaced too - that's not a good sign, is it?
Is it Z Records all over again then?
I wish someone had given me a heads up prior to ordering this edition...
While I can't confirm any of these accusations personally -at least not at this point-, I must say I regret not getting the AOR Heaven (for further information have a look at NEH Records store) reissue instead.
The latter is a label I trust. If you do buy that pressing, drop me a note and tell me how it sounds.
Edit:
I just googled the Cat#, AORH314A, I'm seeing there and now I'm puzzled.
It appears that another CD, the reissue of Cannata's “Images of forever”, shares the same Catalogue Number.
That could mean AOR Heaven has never released “Raid” to begin with :-?
Consider yourselves warned!

This SHIT has spoiled all the fun, that's for sure :-x
