FIGHTER - THE WAITING + 4-SONG EP (DEMO) 2019

As requested, here’s the pristine remastered reissue of one of the best female-fronted AOR / melodic hard rock albums from the early ’90s: FIGHTER’s “The Waiting“, including as bonus tracks their very hard to find, early 4-track demo EP with two exclusive songs.

As part of the really good PETRA iconic albums remastered reissue series done by Girder Records, here’s the 1986 Dino and John Elefante produced “Back to the Street“. These limited run melodic hard rock classics are back in remastered deluxe editions on both vinyl and CD so fans can rediscover just what made these albums so pivotal in the history of US CCM melodic hard rock, as well as introduce them to those who may have missed these iconic releases the first time around.

As requested, here’s for first time on CD the unreleased 1986-87 recordings from Cleveland’s DREAMSTREET. Titled “Heartzone“, this is a wonderful slice of pure US Melodic Rock / AOR with ‘that’ classy style and good production. Think AVIATOR, PREVIEW, JOURNEY, etc.

Formed in the USA in the late 70s, elaborate pomp rock band Fantacy Hill .Despite an inadequate production budget, the group’s 1978 debut album, First Step, was a well-crafted blend of AOR ballads and more punchy, upbeat numbers. The single ‘Unemployment Blues’ was unable to attract much commercial attention.

Highly recommended Hi-tech Scandi AOR, very good for an indie release. Jojo kept springing to mind on initial spins,especially in the typically 90's keyboard sounds, aswell as a little Toto aswell.

Classic ’80s AOR fans will remember Cleveland’s DREAMSTREET for sure. The band’s unreleased 1986-87 recordings were finally released some years ago under the title “Heartzone“ (featured at plotn08), a wonderful slice of pure US Melodic Rock / AOR with ‘that’ classy style and good production. Think AVIATOR, PREVIEW, JOURNEY, etc.

This one was requested several times here: the out of print, hard to find Japan release on mini LP Blu-SpecCD of ASIA‘s album “Aqua” remastered. The sound quality is amazing, with clearer vocals and bass, especially the wonderful harmonics.
