STAN BUSH & BARRAGE – Stan Bush & Barrage [Collectors Edition +8 bonus] 1987

Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment


If you are a true AOR fan, all the blabbermouth below is unnecessary… STAN BUSH & BARRAGE self-titled 1987 is an absolute classic of the genre. While the Rock Candy Records remaster is excellent, this rare ‘Collectors Edition‘ including 8 bonus tracks is a must have as well.
