In 2015 Frederic Slama released one of his best AOR albums called “Return To L.A”. This CD was a private pressing quickly sold out. I’m sure if you check your AOR album collection “Return To L.A” is missing for most of you. Additionally, the album / CD was pressed with a very low sound signal.
Now “Return To L.A” is being officially reissued / remastered with a proper sound quality by Parry Records.
If you are one of the thinkers that all AOR albums sound the same, you better check “Return To L.A”: this is one of the most rocking and consistent – if not the best – of all, featuring the likes of Jesse Damon (Silent Rage, Kiss), Tommy Funderburk (King Of Hearts, Airplay), Paul Sabu (Only Child, Kidd Glove), Rick Riso, Bob Harris (Axe, Steve Vai), Erika Norberg (Yngwie Malmsteen), Sarah & Mélissa Fontaine (Chasing Violets), and of course Tommy Denander who co- produced the album.
