Listening to the two CDs this afternoon. Phenomenal '80s AOR. I usually don't like to tout CDs that our resident nutjob Freaky Freddy goes gaga over, but these really are gems.

 

I think I like Righteous Anger just a tad better than Suspicious Heart, but both are worth seeking out if you can find them. A copy of "Righteous Anger" just went for $61.00 on the bay! You used to be able to find both discs easily in the $15-20 range.

 

Crazy.

Pure brilliant slabs of AOR I also like Rightous anger more than Suspicious Heart. I picked up both of them for 32 dollars at Music Buy Mail. They rank right up there with John Parr's first cd and Robert Tepper's No easy Way Out Classic 'Nuff Said

Have to agree - both are excellent. I also prefer 'Righteous Anger' but it's a close call. Got both of mine when they were issued on the Hi-Vaultage label a good few years back (I think these were the first issues on cd) although I had the vinyl versions from when they were released in the 80's. Definately 2 to track down!!!

Top stuff indeed I can't chose between the two. Does anyone know what his very first album China Girl is like?? I'm sure I found a website where you could possibly download the tracks from it .... hang on a min....

 

 

Yep the link is

I think they are full tracks...I can't check as I'm at work and our firewall won't let me download nuthin'. I'll try when I get home I think and maybe try burning it to CD. :)

I just downloaded Modern Day Delilah and man, that's one hell of a song... AOR perfection! I'm on my search for these two CD's... :)

 

 

They still have both of them at www.Musicbuymail.com Rightous Anger is 15.50Euro and Suspicious Heart is 14.90Euro I have dealt with them a few times and it has been all good. And they take Paypal

OK, I remembered this one from my youth after watching the video on youtube. I thought the lead girl was a showstopper back in the day. Actually a catchy tune but if I remember correctly, AORfreaky was saying this blew away anything by Journey. :screwy::lol:

  • 2024 HH Donation Drive

    Please support Heavy Harmonies! The donations goal is the out-of-pocket expenses to run the main site and this board for calendar year 2024.

    • Sorry my donation is small, but you know my circumstances Done It will be under name Andrew Sharp  
    • Well... I mean... it's true.   Time once again to nag/beg/plead/insult (wait, what?) to help out covering Heavy Harmonies' expenses. Costs for the site run roughly US$195 a month, roughly the same as last several years.  So when I say "costs", what do I mean? It's the out-of-pocket expenses to keep Heavy Harmonies running: server lease, bandwidth, hosting support, and the subscription for this forum software, domain registration. The 2023 drive did pretty well, reaching 83% of goal of covering the annual costs. Let's see if we can meet, or better yet, beat that goal! The donation drive will run through Halloween, October 31.   Anyone who makes a single donation of $20 or more and has a board username will be added to the group "2024 Donors". This gets you the following benefits: A nice shiny icon in your profile showing that you are an HH Donor for 2024:  An increase in the size of your PM storage from 200 to 500 messages An increase in image attachment/upload storage from 20MB to 50MB Exempt from the search flood control (normally if you try and do a search more than every 10 seconds, you get an annoying little "please wait" message) No time limit on editing your own posts! This will especially be useful for those with trade/sale lists as you'll be able to edit them rather than posting revised versions. A warm fuzzy feeling inside that you are helping support Heavy Harmonies! If you donate $50 during the drive, either as a single donation or across multiple donations, you will be added to the group "2024 Gold Donors". This gets you the following in addition to the above: A bigger, shiny badge:  All your posts will be highlighted, because if you show this much dedication to HH, what you have to say is obviously more more important! (just kidding, but your posts will be accentuated). The ability to create a forum "signature" that will be added to all of your posts. If you donate using buttons on the main site, please put your board username in the notes section, and if you donate from here on the forum, please PM me the email address that you sent the donation from! Otherwise I have no way to tie your donation to your membership here on the board. If you are currently in the 2023 donor groups but don't wish to donate this year (or can't), at the beginning of the donation drive, your group membership features will revert to the regular non-donator membership group. Membership in the 2024 Donors group will last until the beginning of next year's donation drive, at which point you can donate again to remain in the Donors group with the same benefits, or revert back to your current member group. PayPal donation buttons are found at the top of all the pages on the main site and here on the forum on the right side at the top, or if you'd prefer to send a money order, check, or cash (not recommended, but I know some people prefer to do so), you can make payable to Dan Harding and send to: Heavy Harmonies P.O. Box 17021 Urbana, IL 61803 USA If you can't give $20, give $10... if you can't give $10, give $5... it's just once a year. (And if you happen to be fortunate enough to be earning gobs of money, please feel free to give bunches! I'm not opposed to having a sugar daddy... or seven.) As always, your support is greatly appreciated! -Dan
