Lone Wolf did exist, yes, but it wasn't fronted by Paul Di'anno. Blitzkrieg 
vocalist Brian Ross was frontman.

I have this EP, and the insert that came with it seems to indicate that
Johnathan King is a pseudonym for Di'anno/Gers/Willis/Murray/Burr. I printed
it out for Judex, so if you still have it if you wish to share it with the
rest of the group as I don't want to type it all out again. You'll see what I
mean about Johnathan King being a made up guy. BUT, if he does in fact exist,
could someone post something about him?

But, Paul Samson remixed the first three albums, and put the Dickinson mixes
on the first album SURVIVORS and they're available from Grand Slamm Records.
Also Paul Samson and Tony Wilson put out a Friday Rock Show Reading Festival
special featuring Samson.

He sort of was in Trust, but not for very long. At least he was a guest for
a while, maybe a year or so. Is Stratus the same with the Troy brothers and
Bernie Shaw from Praying Mantis? (Clive Burr was also their drummer on the
METAL FOR MUTHAS compilation and I think both THE SOUNDHOUSE TAPES PART II and
the "Praying Mantis" 7". Sounds like him.
