PAT BENATAR music, this time her fourth studio album ”Get Nervous” remastered into a 2-in-1 CD by BGO Records alongside ‘Precious Time’. We have already featured here ‘Precious Time’ in its Japanese Ltd.
80s Best Collection 1200 series disc, which remaster quality is superior than this one. So let’s concentrate into ”Get Nervous”.‘Shadows Of The Night’. That’s it. This track alone makes this album a must have. A 1982 (love albums of this ilk appeared that year) melodic rock AOR tune with that unrepeatable production. ‘That’ sound.

The last of the LIAISON albums from their 2020 eissue series, “Hard Hitter” comes fully remastered including a bonus track. While still retaining their melodic core and some AOR touches, “Hard Hitter” make justice to its title: this third effort finds the band rocking harder than ever before, with that punchy sound of the 1992 US productions.
According to the material on offer, this time the Melby brothers used the services of Lanny Cordola (HOUSE OF LORDS). Tony Palacios (GUARDIAN) and Oz Fox (STRYPER) for the guitar solos.
“Hard Hitter” is a very guitar-driven album plenty of powerful – yet extremely clean – hard rockers. It’s still very AOR in essence, however this time there’s some darker, heavier approach on some tracks.

One of the finest acts from the American CCM AOR movement from the late 80s / early 90s, LIAISON was an arena rock band that was cast in the same mold as Def Leppard, White Heart, Allies, Giant, some Toto, etc. Formed by the Melby brothers (Larry; vocals and Tim; guitars, keyboards) their self-titled debut album “Liaison” was produced by renowned AOR songwriter Bill Baumgart, and featured among the top class session musicians Toto’s Jeff Porcaro performing all drums and Michael Landau many of the guitar solos.
Now 2020, celebrating its 30th Anniversary (the album was in fact originally released 1989) we have this remastered version.
