A is A – The Complete Recordings 2023


MelodicRock Classics is proud to bring yet another masterpiece from the vault – the complete recordings from American pomp/AOR outfit A is A.

Founding member Chris Duval describes the band that became A is A as beginning as a dream. A dream that almost came true but fell apart despite having everything going for them and the necessary songs and talent to become a force in the music business. Sometimes you just need an extra piece of luck.

MelodicRock Classics has been working with the band over the past 6 months to put together the complete A is A picture, including tracks recently revamped by the band’s founder, plus all studio recordings that reflect changing lineups and studio sessions and some historic original demos. Finally, there are

TERRY CAROLAN – Inbalance 2023 Remaster w/Bonus Track, MP3+FLAC


Terry Carolan ‘Inbalance’ is the last piece of the puzzle and is the 3rd of the 4 titles coming that will be part of the 500 Series of titles – meaning one pressing, 500 units, then done. When it’s sold out its gone forever once again.

American singer/songwriter Terry Corolan made his start as a drummer in Florida in the 70s, before taking up guitar and songwriting and moving around the country in various bands before moving to Los Angeles with Just Boys in the late 70s before transforming to a new solo artist.

He started his solo career by recording two separate EPs, one titled ‘Inbalance’ (1988) and the other ‘River Of Promises’ (1989).

His career has been busy and full, but for his collaboration with MelodicRoc

GEORGE HILLS – Dancing With A Stranger 2023 Remaster +2 bonus trax, MP3+FLAC


George Hills may not be a household name, but the Canadian melodic rocker delivered a great debut album back in 1991. Unlucky not to make bigger moves in the scene, the album was never released outside his native country and remains an obscure gem to this day.

MelodicRock Classics will make George Hills album ‘Dancing With A Stranger’ available as part of its new 500 Series of titles – meaning one pressing, 500 units, then done. When it’s sold out its gone forever once again.

Pre-orders will be available later this week, with priority given to those pre-orders before any wholesale orders are processed.

Check out the video released back in 1991 for the lead song and title track Dancing With A Stranger.

As per usual, JK

LEVEL – Level 2023 Remaster First Time On CD, MP3+FLAC

Level’s 1982 self-titled release is another of those lost classics, a real AOR obscurity that was only ever issued on LP and even that now fetches huge prices.

Tommy produced and engineered the album as well as co-writing one track. Here he has again provided the masters for JK Northrup to upgrade, adding the extra track not credited on the LP artwork and an exclusive previously unreleased bonus track.
