Although only achieved cult status in the United States, Great Britain’s ROBIN GEORGE is legendary in his home country.

Vocalist / songwriter Freddy Curci and guitarist Steve DeMarchi have already enjoyed their share of the spotlight as former members of SHERIFF who achieved a good deal of success in the early ’80s. After Sheriff disbanded the two went their separate ways for a while before eventually meeting up again and buying a 16-track studio, which they duly installed in DeMarchi’s basement, they then began working on some music while holding on to a succession of day jobs.

Hailing from Baltimore but based in New York, SKIN & BONES had it all: strong songs with MTV / radio potential, the looks, and a debut album – “Not A Pretty Sight” – recorded in England with a top class production team of ex Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor and legend Mike Fraser, who also mixed the whole thing.

When it comes to rare AOR albums this one is without a doubt one of the more elusive. “Heaven Calls” is the 1992’s CD by Finnish singer / musician Patrik Linman, who mostly worked as songwriter and producer for others.
Originally released by the tiny local Traccer Music label, a big chunk of the CD pressing was destroyed and since then, became a collectors item as the music packed inside is top class AOR / Melodic Rock crafted with Scandinavian finesse. The few CD copies circulating on the second hand market go for insane prices.
Now thanks to Patrik and producer Clas Holm, LINMAN ”Heaven Calls” is getting a full makeover. The album has been remastered by Clas, giving the songs more punch and brilliance.
