Cry No More – Collection 1987-2021, MP3

16/04/2023 rock aor All Exclusive, Progressive Rock Leave a comment

Interesting band as it is a project started by Roy Hill and Chas Cronk after Strawbs disbanded in 1980. Roy Hill had replaced Dave Cousins in Strawbs in 1980 at Cousins’ own recommendation.

When playing live Cry No More also included Nick Magnus (Steve Hackett) on drums and keyboards.Cry No More also supplied the soundtrack for the 1986 British low-budget horror movie, Bloody New Year in which Roy Hill and Chas Cronk also had small parts.

I miss a couple of their releases, as I don’t have their first album Smile (1986), but the file includes most of their other releases.

LOU GRAMM – Ready Or Not [Wounded Bird Records 2010 reissue], MP3+FLAC, real?

16/04/2023 rock aor HQ, Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment

As requested, here we have former Foreigner vocalist LOU GRAMM‘s 1987 solo album “Ready Or Not“, in its Wounded Bird Records CD reissue which sounds much better in dynamics.

The greatness of “Ready Or Not” should be credited as well to talented Bruce Turgon, who co-wrote most the songs with his exquisite tastes and also play various instruments, even dropped a guitar solo.
Gramm started o work on “Ready Or Not” when Foreigner entered into some kind of a hiatus after the success of ‘Agent Provocateur’. Lou got offer of a solo album, and the result is “Ready Or Not”, a melodic collection of songs with all that ’80s magic.

The production by Gramm and Pat Moran (Rush, Robert Plant) definitely

LOU GRAMM – Long Hard Look [Rock Candy remastered & reloaded] 2014, MP3+FLAC [fake]

16/04/2023 rock aor HQ, Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment

LOU GRAMM has one of the most unique and remarkably memorable voices, not only as frontman of multi platinum selling US melodic rock gods Foreigner, but also as solo artist as this remastered reissue by Rock Candy Records of his second solo release “Long Hard Look” highlights.

It was the fall of 1989 – one year after Foreigner made solid work on Inside Information, when Lou Gramm made another great solo album following Ready Or Not. This “Long Hard Look”, in my opinion, is the better of the two solo efforts.
The record scored two successful Billboard singles such as “True Blue Love” and “Just Between You And Me”, but all the tracks were potential hits.

There has been many bootlegs put on sale of LOU GRAMM‘s show at RKO Studios show performed in 1987, but none sounds like this one – an unreleased version / no cuts taken from our collection.

While still fronting Foreigner, Gramm released his first solo album ‘Ready Or Not’ in January 1987 to critical acclaim. The single ‘Midnight Blue’ reached the top five. To promote the album, Lou performed this show at RKO Studios for radio broadcast.
With his stupendous band including terrific guitarist Bobby Messano and Bruce Turgon on bass & harmony vocals, Gramm was on fire that n

THE CULT – Dreamtime [Japan reissue remastered] , MP3+FLAC

16/04/2023 rock aor HQ Leave a comment

Before the American mainstream of ‘Electric’ and ‘Sonic Temple’, there was other THE CULT. As requested, here’s the overlooked debut of the British band under this moniker (previously known as Death Cult), ”Dreamtime”, in the Japanese remastered CD reissue now sold out.

If you only know The Cult since ‘Electric’, there’s a new sound to discover with 1984’s ”Dreamtime”. For many, this is the best Cult ever. At the time Ian Astbury howled his lyrics in a unique way, guitarist Duffy created swirling, serpentine guitar lines unlike anyone else’s, Nigel Preston‘s (or rumored to be original producer Joe Julian‘s) tom-heavy drumming was innovative and outside the trad

In 1989, a promoter located in Milwaukee, WI, reached out to five unconnected regional gunslinger musician/vocalists with the concept of creating an AOR-Rock band with a fresh sound. After meeting each other, JUKEBOX HEROES took the stage “literally” five weeks later to an oversold house at Starz on 100 in Milwaukee with a waiting line out the door.

The tour began, and soon JUKEBOX HEROES was in demand throughout the Midwestern US. The schedule had the group sharing the stage with the likes of 38 Special, Starship, Georgia Satellites, Styx, K
