WILMINGTON, NC — Girder Records is proud to continue its acclaimed Legends of Rock™ series with the long-awaited return of two landmark albums from Christian rock pioneers Geoff Moore & The Distance. For the first time in over 35 years, A Place to Stand (1988) and Foundations (1989) will be available on remastered CD—each limited to just 300 units worldwide.

These reissues follow Girder’s 2020 remastered releases of Geoff Moore’s first three albums (Where Are the Other Nine?, Over the Edge, and The Distance), bringing fans deeper into the late ’80s era when Moore’s anthemic voice and The Distance’s polished AOR sound were at the forefront of Christian rock.

Both albums have received the full Girder treatment: expertly remastered by Rob Colwell for maximum clarity and depth, redesigned layouts by Scott Waters, 8-page booklets housed in jewel cases, and exclusive trading cards—making them not just music, but collectible pieces of Christian rock history.

A Place to Stand (1988) – Legends of Rock™ Series

Originally released on ForeFront Records, A Place to Stand cemented Geoff Moore’s place as one of Christian music’s premier melodic rock voices. From the driving title track and the heartfelt “Tender Hearts” to the infectious “A Friend Like U,” this album blends spiritual passion with radio-ready hooks. “Standing in the Gap” became a Christian radio staple, offering an anthem of faith wrapped in glossy guitars and soaring choruses. Fully remastered, this reissue delivers the album’s original energy with renewed sonic brilliance.

Tracklist:
A Place To Stand / Go To The Moon / Heart And Soul / Outsiders / On A Night Like This / I Come Out Fighting / Tender Hearts / Calling Londontown / You’ve Heard It Before / One Of Us

Foundations (1989) – Legends of Rock™ Series

Marking the debut of the Geoff Moore & The Distance name, Foundations is a melodic rock masterpiece, brimming with hooks, harmony, and heart. Tracks like “Tearin’ Down the Walls,” “Foundations,” and “I Found Love” showcase a polished blend of faith and artistry that stood out in the late ’80s CCM landscape. This Legends of Rock™ edition revives its crisp, radio-ready sheen while preserving the soul of its original production.

Tracklist:
Winds Of Change / Follow You / Tearin’ Down The Walls / Hey Jimmie / The Part Of You / Red Moon / Foundations / I Found Love / The Fortunate Ones / One Candle / Mercy For The Memories

Availability
Geoff Moore & The Distance – A Place to Stand and Foundations will be available for pre-order beginning Friday, August 15 exclusively at GirderMusic.com, with an official release date of Friday, October 17.
