I love this album. It's great. Highly professional played, written and produced good rockin' AOR/hard rock. No wild screamin' guitars, but they're there. Should satisfy most likers of 'radio rock'. Bought the album by looking at the cover, way back then, I thought the band looked interesting. And they were. Sadly they only released this one album, before changing their name to Small Talk, and released a softer album. Not bad that one either, but frankly a bit boring. I got that stacked away like most my old vinyls, and I'll try to rip & clean it up when I get some equipment up and running. I think & I hope you'll appreciate this one!
Frank Demme - Vocals, Bass
1981 was a good year, a lot of great things happened around that time, in the world of hard rock. Record companies had back then the will & cash to give a lot of happening bands a fair chance of release. And south african artist Trevor Rabin, released his amazing third album 'Wolf'. Might not be the best lyrics ever, but who cares, it's a great rockin' AOR album, one of the best out there! And that's really something.
I guess most ppl interesting in this type of music, already have this one. But if not, don't wait anymore. Grab this pearl as fast as you can & enjoy it!!
If in any doubt, take a look at this awesome line up (and yes, it's THAT good!):

Hi shotgun :)))
Nice to see you here. No, won't stop. Had a lot of pc problems. And moved.
I've just started. Soon it's all set up for some serious vinyl ripping. Got quite a lot rare albums I've never seen on the net.
Thanks nils.
I love the Rock Rose album.
Get all your head bangin' guitar speed freaks together and this guy will shred them one by one..
Thank you for the rare Rock Rose! I heard them way back in 1979-1980 on FM Radio, but their album was never released here in the Philippines. This is a real treat!
Do you happen to have Pousette Dart Band's album "Never Enough" (1979)? Another favorite album that I've been looking for. Thank you very much!
10x for Rock Rose!
Very nice music in vein of Bad Company, The Babys, Foreigner, Toto & AC/DC.
So, I do not really imagine this is likely to have success.
