NEW SIGNINGS

 

This is HUUUUGE. Ron Keel AND Paul Shortino have both signed deals with Retrospect Records for the Keel box set plus the upcoming Keel/Shortino album (that I will play keyboards on) as well as possible re-issues from their back catalogs. It was only a matter of time before Retrospect would get bigger and bigger names and this is just the beginning. VERY exciting news indeed.

 

Another HUUUUUGE signing....

 

ALLIANCE!!!!!

 

Thats right folks. Retrospect has just inked a deal with quite possibly THE BEST AOR release of its time - the Alliance album from 1982 is heralded as a masterpiece from just about any AOR fan in the know and I am absolutely thrilled to have this opportunity. BEST OF ALL is that this re-issue will feature bonus tracks AND a different cover!! This special edition 25th anniversary re-issue will solidify Retrospect Records as contender for world's premier re-issue label. We are the largest , now we just have to be the best.

 

Thanks for all your support and keep your eyes peeled for future announcements!

I guess you could call them glam/sleaze.... To me, just a great rock 'n roll sound. A perfect mixture of everything that I enjoy from an 80's band. I'd say they are just as good, if not better then Rex Hunter.

working on Cadillac Bratz. Money is from Ohio.

 

The Keel box set will be released in March and the Keel / Shortino album will be released around the same time , as soon as Keel finishes his vocal tracks and I finish my keyboard parts.

 

Sam, are you looking to release the recordings for what was to be cadillac bratz 2nd album , will also include the tracks recorded prior to their debut?

unlikely. There's only 4 songs and the material isn't really strong enough. Just don't tell him that - LOL.

 

 

Hey Sam

 

What about re-issuing the cd by a band from Italy called Crossbones? They have an album out in 1989 featuring Dario Mollo on guitar who later released some solo cd's with Tony Martin on vocals.

 

Crossbones is one killer band with great vocals and razor sharp guitars. Excellent/Hard Rock/Metal.

Hey Sam,

 

How about that hot new release, "The Lehigh Valley Rocks!!, The Best of 1984-1994"? The artwork was done from some guy that was in the band Kings Chamber! You might know him! LOL

    • 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.
    • Doesn't sound like Sweet at all but I kinda like it actually.
    • From your list and what hasn't been mentioned ,Sleeze Beez -Screwed,Blued & Tattooed and their Powertool album  ,Bezerk by Tigertailz , first two Lillian Axe , Baton Rouge - Shale Your Soul...all particular favs of mine,I have  a soft spot for Loudness - Thunder In The East also,dunno if you have Master Of Disguise from Lizzy Borden but it would be my fav by them....to be honest most of the artists on that  list I like though 
    • New song 'Burning Like A Falling Star' from the forthcoming album 'Full Circle'.    
    • 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".  
    • 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  
    • New song 'Chase The Sun'.
