Album notes

*The original version of "Gonna Get Close to You" appears on Dalbello's 1984 album "Whomanfoursays".
*EMI, the record label that released "Rage for Order", has created multiple cover layouts for the album over the years. A few thousand initial copies bear a bluish-silver banner that was later changed to make the artist and title easier to read.
*The band was invited to promote "Rage for Order" by opening for RATT on their "Dancing Undercover" tour.
*Was ranked #88 on Kerrang! magazine's "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums Of All Time" January '89.
*Although not credited, the album cover was designed by Garry Sharpe-Young. It had originally been proposed for a 12" picture disc, which never eventuated, and was used by EMI Records for the album cover without permission. This logo, with subtle changes, would be used by the band throughout their career.
*"Walk in the Shadows" was also covered by Arch Enemy on their Revolution Begins-single.
*"I Dream In Infrared" has never been performed live by the band.
