For those of us who grew up in the 80’s, the experience was intense. Metal came of age and the flood gates were opened onto the streets, and here in Los Angeles, the Sunset Strip was overflowing with metal heads.

As requested, here’s one of the best female AOR / Lite AOR albums from the second half of the ’80s: MARGARET BECKER debut LP ”Never For Nothing”. Originally released 1987, the CD version of ”Never For Nothing” sound is a bit flat. This is the 1993 re-pressing of the disc, no UPC / Barcode present but an official release which sounds fuller, much better transferred to digital.
