Technical & Historical Overview Offered here is an investment-grade, archival-quality factory sealed copy of Marching Out, the seminal sophomore studio album from guitar virtuoso Yngwie J. Malmsteen and his band Rising Force. Released in 1985 via Polydor, this particular copy is the original US pressing identified by the 825 733-1 Y-1 catalog format.
Technically, this release was pressed by Hauppauge Record Manufacturing Ltd. (HRM) in New York, as designated by the Polydor plant code "53". The album was mastered by the acclaimed Phil Austin at Trutone Mastering Labs, utilizing their high-headroom lacquer cutting chain. Because this copy is fully sealed, the dead wax is guaranteed to feature the authentic etched HRM -Pa. markers alongside the stamped MASTERED BY TRUTONE hallmark.
Musically, this LP represents the peak of 1980s neoclassical shred, tracking the historic power-metal lineup of Jeff Scott Soto (vocals), Jens Johansson (keyboards), Anders Johansson (drums), and Marcel Jacob (bass)
