Excellent compilation of a number of EPs and recordings. If this is the precursor for the debut studio album next year, the signs are very good! Highlights of ‘Down & Out’ include the epic ‘Down’ and the mesmerising ‘Time Rolls On’. A must for any rock collection.

Of immediate interest is the track ‘Heartbeat’ which kicks things off. This version precedes the one that Don Johnson released in 1986 which became a break-out hit for him. Wendy’s version is fairly raw and boisterous, unlike the smooth AOR of Johnson’s. ‘Fighting It Out In The Heart Of The City’ is as tough as the song-title suggests.
‘We’ll See In The End’ has some energetic moments in the second half of the song, while ‘X-Ray Eyes’ is the quirkiest tune on offer. Tapp

He has opened for Pat Benatar and Bon Jovi in Maui (grew up), but also opened for great artists in California including Foghat, Quiet Riot, Kansas and Dokken. “Fasten Your Seat Belts” featuring four well arranged an
