Retrospect Records Headlining Act

Retrospect Records

Ok Folks this is unbelievable. Due to my association with Carmine Rojas who plays bass in one of my bands...Monsters of Classic Rock (www.internationalrockshow.com) , I was extremely fortunate to meet with one of the true legends in the music business last night. Jerry Greenberg. Who is he? Well he was the president of Atlantic Records between 1974 and 1980 and then started his own label called MIRAGE RECORDS which lasted for 6 years. He then was president of Atco from '87 to '89 , president of WTG from '89-'92 (Choirboys , Beau Nasty , Bridge 2 Far) and finally president of Michael Jackson's label for 10 years after that....

 

Here's the kicker.....

 

Jerry has just agreed to license Retrospect Records the ENTIRE back catalog of Mirage Records!!!!!!!

 

You heard it right!!!

 

So what does that mean?

 

It means we get to see official silver-pressed re-issues of bands like FIERCE HEART , DC STAR , SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY, ROSE TATTOO , GERARD MCMAHON and dozens of other AOR / Hard Rock releases that are LOOONG overdue!

 

As we continue our negotiations I will keep you informed, but this is a dream come true for me and I had to share my joy with my friends here at HH.

 

This was a day I shall never forget!

Sam - Great News, especially the Fierce Heart album which is long overdue a CD Re-issue.

The Rose Tattoo back catologue was recently (Very well) done in Europe though with excellent Remastering, Digipacks & Bonus tracks, so peeps may already have those

 

Wasn't the extremely excellent Sandy Stewart - 'Cat Dancer' album on Mirage - will you be doing that one!!!If so, you have made my week??? :drink::drink:

Any chance you can get your hands on the WTG catalog? I would love to know if Beau Nasty has any extra tracks lieing around. I love Dirty, But Well Dressed. Just wished there was more out there.

 

:agree: That would be pretty cool, I always loved them...

I fired off an email to Mike Terrana asking if he was aware of any unreleased Beau Nasty songs a few days ago but no reply yet.

 

I'm looking forward to Fierce Heart and DC Star :banger:

It's not anything grounbreaking, it's just real good 80's hard rock ala Jesse Strange, Wildside, etc. A favorite in my collection just for it's consistency alone! :tumbsup:

I used to see the cassette in used music shops in the early 90's all the time.

I never remembered seeing them on mtv or in Metal Edge so I never bought it.

      Tell Which Bands I Should Listen To!

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      Some of these I have touched on in the past, but not found myself desperate to explore more. For instance 8 have hardline eclipse and also II. But that's it  Same with a few others on the list, I may have an album. So I guess I really want another Tyketto where the whole catalogue is great. If any on the list fit that bill. In the past I tried out Alfo November. The one with a brick wall in it?, Lillian Axe and a Loudness. Maybe I need to try them again. I purposefully left some off, like Vibbie Vincent Invasion because of the screechy vocals. I guess I always put Mark Free in that group as well.

      Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut. Akdo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".

      Tell Which Bands I Should Listen To!

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger
