As requested many times, here’s our very own STEVE PERRY compilation ”The Vault”, may times copy/pasted over the internet and even bootlegged on CD. Put together celebrating Perry’s comeback with a new album, “The Vault” includes unreleased rarities, demos, contributions and B-sides.
Officially released, but exclusive to the CD Maxi-Single is the ‘single version’ of “You Better Wait” remixed (not the edit version appeared in The Best Of Steve Perry), and “Missing You (Writing Session)” a B-side, exclusive to its CDsingle, a must listen to intimate version where you can appreciate Perry’s unique vocals.
We have as well quite unknown contributions by Steve Perry for other artists, such as the superb duet with David Pack in ‘A Brand New Start’, his lead vocals for the great song of Jeff Golub ‘Can’t Let You Go’, the song recorded for Quest For Camelot Soundtrack (I Stand Alone), or the very rare 2 demo recordings from 1976 with guitarist Forrest McDonald, featuring a very young Perry pre-Journey.
While on other tracks like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s ‘Soldiers Of Peace’, America’s ‘Can’t Fall Asleep To A) Lullaby’ or Clannad’s ‘White Fool’ Steve Perry mostly contribute harmony vocals only, you can taste his touch and diversity despite the different musical genres.
And then there’s the rarities, all demos from different sessions, all with quite good audio quality.
There’s songs from the Street Talk album sessions, some tracks ended into the final tracklist, but many remain unreleased. We find as well songs from For The Love Of Strange Medicine, and Alien Project sessions.
Among the gems there’s the rocking AOR of ‘Lost Angels’, the very Journey-like ‘Let Him Go’, the punchy ‘Let It Rock You’, or the elegant midtempo ‘Go Away’ among others.
