Excellent disc that, as per the results to this poll, I never see anyone ever talk about. 'Hell can wait' is my favourite, but most songs on this are great... especially from track 5 onwards.

Yeah I'm big fan of this album as well. I went for track 2 'Time' as the best track for me. I also really like 'One Heart' and 'Desperation Calling'. I own 3 CD singles from this band - all up theres an extra 5 tracks that don't appear on the album. I ripping them to MP3 now if anyones interested in hearing them let me know. BTW does anyone know if the Japanese version of this album has a different track listing or is it the same 10 tracks?

 

EDIT...oops I did mean to say "Hell Can Wait' instead of 'One Heart', Hell Can Wait is a wonderful track.

Okay guys, here's the non-album tracks. I hope I'm not violating the rules here by posting the link, but given that this is just five select tracks from three different out of print CD singles from 1991 I think this should be okay. I'm guessing the majority of people who will be interested already own the album.

 

For fans of the album, these are definately worth a listen, especially as there are three great sounding melodic rock ballads among them.

 

'Straight For Your Heart' should've been included on the album, in fact it could've fit nicely on a Def Leppard album. 'Jackson High' is another brilliant track, better than most of the album. 'More Than I Want' - what can I say - probably close to, if not the best track the band has recorded, a great intro, and once again very Def Leppard-esque.

 

'Can't Take The Credit For It' is an okay rocker, nothing too special and 'Freight Train' is a pretty average track really but shows the band playing in a style not heard before.

 

From the 'All Join Hands' single:

Shoot -- I thought this had something to do with the classic ass-kickin' movie starring Patrick Swayze. Never mind, I got nothin'.

Wow mate, I have to admit I was not expecting these tracks to be this good. Exactly as you say above, those first 3 songs are absolutely excellent, as good as anything off the album. Especially love 'Jackson High' and 'More than I want'.

 

Thanks again mate, these are awesome. Some definite Ipod additions here...

Wow looks like my poll struck gold!

Thanks a lot Fahrenheit.

I've been searching for those CD singles on ebay with no luck and searched for the mp3s with no success.

Roadhouse is definitely a band that should've gone further.

 

EDIT

Here's a Japanese release of this album on ebay. I believe the track listing is the same as there are ten tracks although the seller hasn't said which ones I'm assuming they're the same.

You could always ask him.

    • Another thing is Joe has always worn his heart on his sleeve when it comes to his love of 70s glam rock. I remember when they did the cover of Action for the Retroactive album, and Joe did an interview where he was talking about how he listened to the original by Sweet over and over before they recorded it as he kept hearing all these different things they did in the song with vocal layering and especially the backing vocals. That whole big gang vocal that has become Lepps trademark sound, defo owes a lot to Joes influences.

    • From Iconoclassic Records FB page: Survivor lead singer Jimi Jamison's previously unreleased 2007 country-rock solo album! Entirely written and produced by fellow former Survivor bandmate Jim Peterik.  After leading Survivor to the top of the charts in the mid-'80s, powerhouse vocalist Jimi Jamison reunited with Jim Peterik to cut... a country-rock album? The concept seems perplexing, yet it makes perfect sense. The singer was born Jimmy Wayne Jamison in smalltown Mississippi. Those who knew him best said that you could hear his Southern roots, no matter what he was singing. Today's country music often blurs the line between true old school country, pop, and straight up rock & roll. The same is true with 'Jimmy Wayne Jamison,' which at times, doesn't stray too far from the Jimi Jamison that we all know and love so dearly.  All track versions are previously unheard. Second release in the Jimi Jamison Archive Series. Coming on August 23, Jamison's birthdate.   Tracklist 1. Live Life 2. Love You All Over The World 3. Runaway Train 4. Strong At The Broken Places 5. I Wanna Touch You There 6. Heart Of A Woman 7. Sound Of Home 8. Alive 9. Till You Love Someone 10. Come Dancing 11. A Kiss To Remember You By #jimijamison #Survivor #jimpeterik #melodicrock #countryrock #southernrock #aor
    • I'm happy the do different stuff. Otherwise what they do would get old. Tesla proved how easy it is to make and album have a def Lep feel. And I loved that album, as a one off. And I loved slang as well. Variety is the spice of life 😁
    • Ohh nice,hoping the new recent singles will be on this one.
    • New album out September 20th through Frontiers.
    • I agree. Ultimately, I think bands become sort of what they "really" want to become and move toward the "mean" so to speak.  Leppard always said that they wanted to be like Queen in that they weren't constrained by having to make certain types of songs.  It was probably that desire to go outside the box that allowed Pyromania and Hysteria to happen in the first place.   And it's probably what's caused them to jump around with different style songs throughout the years.  I think it would've happened that way regardless.   Who knows though.  Maybe Steve would've influenced things a little bit as his Led Zep and Jimmy Page influences might've trickled in more.  And who knows what could've happened if Mutt stuck around for a couple more albums too....he was probably the most important piece in the puzzle.  They were already changing lanes though even with Steve and Mutt in the fold.  I think they've still shown they're capable of doing more classic sounding stuff if they want to with songs like Promises, Paper Sun, Dangerous, Take What You Want, etc being a few examples.    Either way, I'm just happy they've kept it going for nearly 50 years.  It has to be tough staying inspired and coming up with new song ideas for that long so that's kind of why I think the course they took would've naturally happened either way.  
    • What are the chances...no sooner than I got these from the band that Eonian annouce that they'll be issuing them  https://www.eonianrecords.com/ Their new single - Out Of Touch https://wantedbandofficial.bandcamp.com/track/out-of-touch
