BRETT WALKER – Highlights From The Last Parade 2023 , 2 CD


The set featured all unreleased material from Brett’s DAT archives, plus for the first time, the much sought after Person To Person demos. There has been some demand for a truncated version of the box set, as well as a stand-alone release of the Person To Person tracks.

02. Branded

MRCD14 – Defiant 2CD set 2023


MelodicRock will celebrate the site’s 25th Anniversary with one final Volume in its popular MRCD series.

The MRCD series kicked off in 2003 with the ‘Revealed & Revisited’ release, making this January’s release, the 20th Anniversary of the series which last appeared in 2015.
