{"product_id":"strangeways-complete-recordings-vol-1-uk-cd","title":"Strangeways - Complete Recordings Vol 1 (Uk) [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst four albums from Glasgow's Strangeways who took their musical cues from across the pond, making melodic AOR style-rock inspired by bands such as Loverboy, Foreigner, Night Ranger and Journey. Covering their output from 1985 to 1994 with a host of bonus tracks, live and demos. Formed in 1985 by brothers Ian Stewart (guitar) and David Stewart (bass), joined by Jim Drummond (drums) and singer Tony Liddell, they released their critically-acclaimed self-titled debut album in 1985. Produced by Kevin Elson (Lynyrd Skynyrd, Journey and Mr Big), they were championed by Kerrang! Whose rave review reckoned that, \"'Breakin' Down The Barriers' has American Number One hit single written all over it's baby face,\" assuring us that, \"This band still possess that unmistakably British flavour... I predict a big success. \" Further plaudits in Kerrang! #stated that, \"Strangeways are a British band playing British rock with the additional elements of American-style professionalism and attention to detail... They have made an album that sounds truly magnificent when it comes out of your speakers. \" And if that wasn't enough, it confidently proclaimed that it was, \"the greatest and most preciously perfect AOR album of all time\". American Terry Brock replaced Tony Liddell as vocalist, joining Dave Munch Moore on keyboards for the John Punter-produced 'Native Sons' in 1987, arguably their greatest commercial success. Described by Kerrang! #as, \"Absolutely stunning and without doubt the best AOR album of the last six years,\" assuring the reader that it was, \"a time bomb of an album... it will blow every mind and lughole that comes into contact with it. \"The same line-up released the third album 'Walk In Fire' in 1989. Featuring the single 'Every Time You Cry', the album was co-produced by guitarist Ian Stewart with John Lee and mixed by Mike Shipley (Whitesnake, The Cars, Def Leppard). The story on this collection ends with fourth album, 'And The Horse', from 1994, by which time guitarist Ian Stewart had also taken on lead vocal duties. With grunge being the order of the day (as far as the fickle rock press were concerned, at least), the album saw Strangeways moving away from their original AOR sound to one that was more bluesy, jazzy and almost progressive in nature, with hints of Pink Floyd, while still remaining resolutely melodic. Key tracks include 'Precious Time' and 'Out Of The Blue' plus the near ten minute 'Some Of Us Lie'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Kid Needs Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold Back Your Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose to the Edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeartbreak Zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCry Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreakin' Down the Barriers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNow It's Gone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore Than Promises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold Tight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll the Wrong Reasons (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold on (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose to the Edge (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreakin' Down the Barriers (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreets on Fire (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDance with Somebody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly a Fool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Far Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere Do We Go from Here\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodnight la\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpty Streets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStand Up and Shout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShake the Seven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever Gonna Lose It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace to Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStand Up and Shout \/ Breaking Down the 12 Barriers (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDance with Somebody (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever Gonna Lose It (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly a Fool (Single Edit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodnight la (Single Edit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDance with Somebody (Aor Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere Are They Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDanger in Your Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Lies Dying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery Time You Cry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTalk to Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiving in the Danger Zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModern World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInto the Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalk in the Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter the Hurt Is Gone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJackie's Gone (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Tom (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiberty (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Last Chance (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Far Away (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere Do We Go from Here (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery Time You Cry (Single Edit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecious Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMans Maker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOut of the Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrough the Wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Great Awakening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWonder How\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome of Us Lie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5013929926424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.3.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59580279750737,"sku":"318503","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4066945-2802508.jpg?v=1780030780","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/es\/products\/strangeways-complete-recordings-vol-1-uk-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
