here’s the recent remastered & expanded version of CHRIS CHRISTIAN‘s self-titled album from 1981, also known as ‘I Want You, I Need You‘, to not be confused with Chris debut album from 1976.
”Chris Christian / I Want You, I Need You” is considered a West Coast AOR-pop classic, featuring a stellar array of session musicians including legendary guitarists Dann Huff & Michael Landau, David Foster, Tommy Funderburk, Christopher Cross, Nigel Olsson (Uriah Heep & Elton John), Amy Holland and many other luminaries from the genre.
Long out-of-print, and never before available on CD in the US, this ”Chris Christian / I Want You, I Need You” collector’s edition has been digitally remastered by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound.
