That would probably be the sanest and least career-crippling move to occur in the Virgin Steele headquarters in a while.

Has it been mentioned anywhere that most of the songs on these three discs are not any actual new songs?

I didn't listen through them yet, but I did some (painful) research, and out of 58 songs you got:
- 11 reworkings of old songs (orchestral versions, etc.)
- 25 covers
- 11 mini-songs/doodles/interludes
- leaving only 11 songs which seem to be full new Virgin Steele songs

I really haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, and it baffles me even more as DeFeis calls these "three albums" while in fact they are just cover compilations more than anything. I wonder if the two future already written "albums" are also mostly covers of 60-70's music.

Yup, the primary new album is the first one, Red Wine Harvest or whatever it's called - the others are more weird experiments with old songs and such. Which makes sense because writing three 80 minute albums in a few years would be inhuman even for David.

I don't think the world is ready for Virgin Steele's own Childhood's End.
DeFeis singing Surfin Bird would put an end to my sides, though.
