Norwegian Rock history contains many hidden gems with bands / recordings that not many people know about, or remember. But it’s melodic rock music coming from Scandinavia that ’80s rockers fans of the decade are eager to hear for sure.
In the ’80s and the beginning of the ’90s, there were many young promising talents who were given the opportunity to release their music on 7” (and a few on CD singles). In many cases it was only just a two-sided single.
After the success of Rock Of Norway’s 2CD Volume 1 compilation with rare and hard-to-find they released a second compilation. Again, 18 artists, 18 singles, 36 tracks – the ‘A Side’ tracks on CD1, the ‘B-Side’ on CD2.
