Another LA Songwriter supreme who seems to have disappeared without trace.
5 Dec. 2004
4. BIG CITY - Pay The Devil His Due - DEMO - 1989 - USA
3 out of 5 Fortune members cant be a bad thing and neither can another toon from these guys.

Debut single on the Melodian label and featuring original guitarist Joe Cool. Slightly different to the album version.

6. MARTEE LE BOW - Down To The Wire - DEMO - 1991 - USA
Certainly one of my fave under rated female artists makes for a great excuse to indulge in another demo toon from 91.
5 Dec. 2004
7. JOE LYNN TURNER - Keep Tonight - DEMO - 1990 - USA
What more can be said about JOLT from this era except please bring back these lost toons for some kind of official release. Class!
5 Dec. 2004
8. GLENN BURTNICK - Nobody But You - DEMO - 1990 - USA
Like Joe Lynn a quality artist of major proportions with an avalanche of demos out there. Total Respect!
5 Dec. 2004
9. FARRENHEIT - Dirty Ol' Town - DEMO - 1991 - USA
Boston faves from back in the day. Charlie Farren, an aor injection of "Goofy Boy" proportions could well do the world some good. You are required!
5 Dec. 2004
10. CRISTON JOHNSON - Love Surgery - DEMO - 1990 - CANADA
Kick Axe gone melodic. Some great stuff from Kick Axe vocalist George Criston and Loverboy keyboard player Doug Johnson. Great to see this come out proper under the title of Paradise - Light The Fire on the Escape label in 2001.

11. JAMIE KYLE - Bed of Roses - 02-10-1993 - Live Acoustic @ the Gods of AOR, Milton Keynes, UK

12. RIO - Tommy Can't Help It - Album Track - 1985 - UK
Taken from the classic Borderland album which is another release crying for cd re-release. Rio were certainly a UK band well ahead of their time!

13. SCANDAL- Kiss Me Deadly - Live - Ritz NYC - 18-04-1985
Well overdue for a new studio album Patty Smyth here fronting Scandal with this cover tune live opener.
5 Dec. 2004

Had a few requests from late comers for this one - so thought I'd feature an updated better copy of the tune we featured many month's ago.

17. AIRRACE - Been Thinking - Demo - 1983 - UK
Airrace were always one mighty band with the likes of Keith Murrell, Toby Saddler and Jason Bonham in the line up. Would have been nice to get another album out of them other than the classic Shaft of Light that really did deserve better recognition by the masses.

18. CHOIRBOYS - Never Gonna Die - LIVE - Excelsior Hotel, Melbourne Australia - 16-08-1986
Boot recording from up the road here at Wimp Central - Oz Branch - at the local the Oz Choirboys played ocker pub rock with nifty hooks to the point of getting Rough Cutt to cover their songs.
