Album Cover
Manilla Road
Open The Gates

Album FR 1984 on Black Dragon Records label
Rock (Heavy Metal)

Recorded at Miller Studio, North Newton, Kansas, USA. Lyrics printed on inner sleeves. Made in France. From Mark "The Shark" Shelton words: You see the album was recorded in 84 and it first hit the sales racks in France in November or December of 84. Black Dragon decided to date their pressing 1985 because it was so close to the end of the year. They thought it would stand o a better chance of getting more attention as a new year release. So I have always considered Open The Gates a 1984 release. © 1985 All rights reserved by Mark Shelton, Scott Park and Randy Foxe All sleeves painting, drawing and design © Black Dragon Records ℗ 1985 All songs published by Manilla Music Publishing Company (BMI) C, D: ℗ 1985 Roadster Records / Black Dragon Records
