I hope they have these available through a US distributor.  The shipping from Australia is killer.  I’m sure they are feeling the same when they purchase stuff from the US.  It’s a shame when shipping costs more than the damn cd.

Buy it direct from me and the shipping is in the price - normally works out to USD10 for the customer, but most of the time USD15 for me in costs.

Ohhh. Is that why the MRR releases are no longer on the Spotifies? I couldn't find Secret anymore. 

Yeah, more or less. That's why I've re-done Jimmy Davis - to get him back on digital as well. The whole MRR/digital set up was a nightmare with the first half of the catalogue administered by Cargo UK and I still don't know what is what with those titles and no communication with Cargo.

That's why on MRC I do everything myself...full control!

Top class Brit AOR. I got the original copy on LP when it came out and then the CD. Will definitely be getting this upgrade with all the extras. Some quality stuff coming out of the Melodic Records camp at present, so big kudos to Andrew

Thanks bud! Just to clarify - MRC or MelodicRock Classics is the label for these reissues (and more to come). I no longer own MelodicRock Records.

We're still waiting for Andrew to tell us what "H.E.A.T." stands for BTW.

LOL

But I have a feeling you have a few opinions about Frontiers. ;}

LOL...too many to mention. None of them positive.

Why is a power ballad the opening track of a rock album?  Frontiers have zero clue when it comes to sequencing.

Try and follow the lyrics in that video (volume turned off is preferable...). Good grief!

Good song, the samples on Itunes sound pretty strong but the voice is destroyed.

James has been the weak link in HOL for the last 5 albums. Having Robin blend in her vocals for the high parts is just plain fucking annoying.

That song is a sonic mess. All over the place. Different vocals, different bridge/chorus/hooks.... unlistenable.

Thank you for the free CD I got to listen to before everyone else! 10/10

Most of these blogs are all 10/10 for everything...and reviewed the day after the promos are delivered. Real in depth stuff!

I believe it was my 3rd favourite release of 1989, and that's saying something.

Don't think it's ever been reissued?? might be wrong tho. 

Bad Reputation/Axe Killer did a fine remaster of it some time back. Absolute classic album.

prob the weakest track so far but it's still extremely nice. 

I think the band mentioned they would continue releasing singles so album might not be for a while yet

 

Later this year.

NO unreleased album or even demos. Band barely got album #2 done. I've talked to Schon and Waite about these - all JW solo demos.

I think these guys all come together of their own volition, so it might be a more organic sounding release instead of the usual fare.

The Frontiers Spin Machine works alongside the Random Band Generator.

Shit drum sound. Sounds like everything else. 

Some of the posts tagging Serafino in them from Frontiers artists are starting to sound like Dear Leader posts.

Ok tune...but not a lot of personality considering all involved. 

Thanks for sharing Stefan!

The music on this set is extrordinary.

Just checking-in to see if orders have shipped?  Looking forward to this one.  Thanks for letting me know.

Yes sir...should be arriving any day.

@melodicrockis this a MRR release?

No, MRR is now owned by others and MRC is reissues only. Far better for my sanity.

As several people pointed out in the comments on Youtube, "Starchaser" has some good music but the vocals are buried in the mix.  Feels like it needs to be run past a different producer to get better results.

 

Those comments won't be there for long!
