The outer card slipcase and
24-page inlay (with lyrics, photos and new notes from noted writer JOHN TOBLER)
lend this reissue the usual BGO classy look - while the new 2018 ANDREW
THOMPSON Remasters amp up those Eighties sounds (licensed from Sony).
I had these vinyl albums
back on Epic Records in the day (during my Eagles obsessions) and remember them
as being patchy. Some famous guests include Kim Carnes singing backing vocals
on "Deep Inside My Heart" - Don Henley and Glenn Frey of The Eagles
sing backing vocals on "One More Song" – Craig Hull of The Hate Boys
plays all guitars.
On the self-titled third LP
there are even more - Brian Smith of Trooper who plays Guitar on "Never
Been In Love", "Darkness Of The Heart" and "Tonight" -
Dixon House of The Dixon House Band plays Piano, Organ and Backing Vocals on
all songs - Nicky Hopkins plays Piano on "Jealousy", "Doin' It
For Delilah" and "Still Runnin'" - Ann Wilson of Heart sings
Lead Duet Vocals on "Strangers" while Nancy Wilson of Heart sings
Backing Vocals on "Strangers", "Tonight", "Never Been
In Love" and "Playin' In The Deep End" - Tower Of Power horns on
"Jealousy", "Playin' In The Deep End" and "Doin' It
For Delilah".
So not a lot's changed musically
(some good, some badly dated) - but the Audio offered here is a winner and fans
who've been waiting years for affordable versions of these forgotten platters
will love this CD...
