Canadian hit maker BRYAN ADAMS released his new album ”Roll With The Punches” in various configurations. ”Roll With The Punches [3-Disc Limited Deluxe Edition]” features a second with 8 newly recorded solo acoustic versions of the album tracks, but the really interesting thing is the 3rd bonus disc titled “Tough Town”, featuring unreleased material recorded in 1988 / 1989 from the never released, fan-called ‘Lost Album’.
CD 2 features acoustic, and really nice versions of the albums tracks, plus the extra track “Hey Baby”, originally released on the Japanese edition of On A Day Like Today in 1998. This version is slightly different.
Then there’s CD3 ”Tough Town”, opening with the prev. unreleased title track. Written by Bryan and Jim Vallance, it’s a powerful rock track with a verse that’s half spoken, half sung. Bryan recorded “Rough Town” at A&M Studios in Los Angeles in May 1989 with Bob Clearmountain producing. It remains unreleased until now. A must for Bryan and ’80s rock fand, and collectors.
“Nothin’ You Can’t Do That Can’t Be Done” is another previously unreleased track. “Sometimes You Lose Before You Win” is taken from the digital single Sometimes You Lose Before You Win, released in 2023, and now deleted.
“What If There Were No Sides At All” is taken from the digital single What If There Were No Sides At All, released in 2023. This is the first time this has been released on physical media. “You’re Awesome” is taken from the digital single Sometimes You Lose Before You Win.
“Ultimate Love” and “Please Stay” are taken from the Ultimate compilation, released in 2017, only available there. “Tonight In Babylon” was originally released with Loverush UK! on the Tonight In Babylon single in 2012 as a trance / house track. This is the rock version, rare and good!
“Best Of Me” (originally titled “The Best Of Me”) is taken from the compilation album The Best Of Me, released in 1999, no easy to find.
“Someone’s Daughter Someone’s Son” is taken from the digital single Someone’s Daughter, Someone’s Son, released in 2024. This is the first time it has been released on physical media.
