Goddo - S/T Goddo - An Act Of Goddo Didn't realise these had been re-issued on CD!!!! Michael Stanley Band - Fourth And Ten...+ 5 (Good Live disc)

Good stuff indeed, but not officially on CD yet, as I know... Never seen it on CD (except as a bootleg)... I've just got a good copy... Maybe one day it will be edited. I'm still waiting for the Preview's album which were announced since a few month now... I know that Jez has posted some informations about Rock Candy, but I don't find the thread... As I remembered, it will be out this autumn (with the DFP)... It's a great album, can't wait ! Concerning DfP : I hope that the forthcoming reissue will included the Live At Saint Louis as bonus tracks... DFP was meant to be out last monday along with Johnny Van Zant - No More Dirty Deals and Storm - Storm II, but they have been put back until Aug 31st. I was told by a good source that The Preview was listed as Sept, but as with everything Rockcandy, that will probably drop back until probably at least Oct now. We have been waiting sooo long, so another few weeks won't matter. I know the DFP has 5 bonus tracks, but don't yet know what they are - I am presuming that they are some of the St. Louis show though!!!

Haywire - Bad Boys Goddo - An Act Of Goddo Michael Stanley Band - Fourth And Ten Orphan - Lonely At Night REPLY NOW - S/T

SCREAM Until You Like It - Only Child

IMHO "Don't Just Stand There" is much better... 'Bad Boys' has always been their greatest disc for me and one of the best to come out of Canada in the 80's- Very Orphan/Loverboy in style. 'Don't Just Stand There' is good, but not on the same level for me. It all went pretty much downhill after that one with their last 2 discs which were not that great!!! Any more opinions on the first 2 Haywire discs - PLEASE REPLY NOW!!

Robby Valentine - The Most Beautiful Pain...+3 (Jap Import) Wasn't sure about forking out for this one again, but the lure of the 3 bonus tracks was too much. Shame this has only just been released in Japan well after the European version, otherwise I would have got it first. As with the other Jap Robbie discs, I am glad that I invested in this, as the extras make it superior over the Euro version!!. Am also doing the same with Wig Wam - WigWamania as that has just been released in Japan as well with 3 bonus tracks.

Jez : I don't know those two bands... How many albums ? Hard to find ? Are they really good ? PLEASE REPLY NOW () Chris Quarterflash are good but very lite, kinda a more AOR Fleetwood Mac meets Pat Benatar - Check out their section on the cd listings on HH. All of their discs are easy to get except 'Girl In The Wind' their last one, which ironically, is one of their best, but is quite hard to get. My advice would be go for the S/T or 'Take Another Picture' - both really good. Michael Stanley band are really good as well, although not all strictly AOR on their early discs. Their best albums for you (and me) would be their early mid 80's AOR stuff like 'Inside Moves' (Excellent disc - re-issued + 5 top notch bonus tracks)) and 'Heartland'. His early stuff is pretty pricey, but these 2 should be reasonably priced and pretty easily avaliable. His solo disc from 1996 'Coming Up For Air' is worth a shout as well - you can get that one real cheap!!! Knowing your tastes, you won't go wrong with Quarterflash although as I said it is pretty lightweight stuff. Michael Stanley you will love 'Inside Moves' I can pretty much guarantee. Hope that helps

F***ing awesome. One of the best ever!!!!
