PAT BENATAR music, this time her fourth studio album ”Get Nervous” remastered into a 2-in-1 CD by BGO Records alongside ‘Precious Time’. We have already featured here ‘Precious Time’ in its Japanese Ltd.
80s Best Collection 1200 series disc, which remaster quality is superior than this one. So let’s concentrate into ”Get Nervous”.‘Shadows Of The Night’. That’s it. This track alone makes this album a must have. A 1982 (love albums of this ilk appeared that year) melodic rock AOR tune with that unrepeatable production. ‘That’ sound.

03 – Anxiety (Get Nervous)
04 – Fight It Out
05 – The Victim
06 – Little Too Late
07 – I’ll Do It

One of the finest acts from the American CCM AOR movement from the late 80s / early 90s, LIAISON was an arena rock band that was cast in the same mold as Def Leppard, White Heart, Allies, Giant, some Toto, etc. Formed by the Melby brothers (Larry; vocals and Tim; guitars, keyboards) their self-titled debut album “Liaison” was produced by renowned AOR songwriter Bill Baumgart, and featured among the top class session musicians Toto’s Jeff Porcaro performing all drums and Michael Landau many of the guitar solos.

Now 2020, celebrating its 30th Anniversary (the album was in fact originally released 1989) we have this remastered version.
