TRIVIA

This album features the first flying guitar, which would become a theme on Petra's album covers.

"The Coloring Song" and "Praise Ye The Lord" were originally songs from e-band. Greg Volz was the lead singer for this band during the early seventies. Petraspective has a live-recording of e-band's version of "Praise Ye The Lord" and several recordings of Greg X. Volz performing "Praise Ye The Lord" on tour with Phil Keaggy.

There is the story that quite a lot of the 7" vinyl singles with "For Annie" were destroyed, due to the false rumour among DJs that a young girl committed suicide after hearing the song.

Petra went on tour during the first three months of 1982 with headliner Servant. During the tour Petra's fame attracted more and more people, so much so that people came to see Petra rather than Servant.

The first official band pictures for Never Say Die feature the temporary drummer Jeff Boggs. Louie Weaver didn't join the band until 1982, during the Never Say Die tour.
