NIK KERSHAW – Human Racing [Expanded Edition 2-CD remastered]


OK. This is a site specialized in rock ‘n roll, but we can’t deny there’s many good and interesting music from related genres. There was a time when pop music was colorful, flamboyant and full of character; the ’80s. Actually, our beloved genres such as AOR and Westcoast crossed the thin line between rock and pop in many occasions.

Eighties pop delivered several talented artists in the genre, one of them being the British, Bristol-born NIK KERSHAW. Kershaw’s ’84 debut “Human Racing” not only showed his vocal skills and ability to play Guitar, Bass, Keyboards and Percussion, but also Nik’s superb songwriting and the terrific production by Peter Collins (Rush, Queensryche, Gary Moore).

The album achieved platinum sales and a

THE LADDER – The Ladder ’86 [Rock Candy remaster] (2024) , MP3+FLAC, REAL?


Not to be confused with the Steve Overland side-band of the same name, this THE LADDER was an American mid-80s studio project put together by keyboard player Joe Parente with his producer brother Lou. Atlantic / ATCO signed them and released their one and only self-titled album in 1986.

The Ladder” features an awesome collection of killer rockin’ AOR / Melodic Rock tunes with a first class production. One of the most overlooked yet best albums from these beloved genres during the ’80s. There’s excellent choruses, sophisticated guitars, tons of synths / keyboards and bombastic drums courtesy of Joe Franco (Fiona, Twisted Sister, Chilliwack). ALL songs are great, believe us.
So it’s not a surprise Rock Candy
