Rox Sedan - Better off Dead “Single” 1984 (Hard Rock) Northern Indiana
WOOW!! RARE!! RECOMMENDED!!ROX SEDAN from Northern Indiana were yet another quality act! Their demo tape proved that they could rock with the best of the Cali bands back then (Dokken, Ratt, Motley Crue etc.)

Eden - Fan The Flame 2003 (Hard Rock) USA
Excellent CD with a throwback sound to the glory days of Ratt, Whitecross and Dokken. Whitecross guitarist Rex Carroll performs much of the guitar work on this CD, although he is only credited as a "guest artist". I'd be curious to know if Joe Dokken is the singer's real name or just a band name. Regardless, this is a pretty solid slab of classic hard rock.(scott)Scream In Eden - Original Sin 2008 (Hard Rock) USA
This release is in the vein of Tesla / Babylon AD [debut] and Dokken. The album was briefly available as a minor pressing on the CCM market a few years ago and features Rex Carrol of White Cross. Most will agree that when hearing the album it does not portray its CCM origins and it is now released to the mainstream rock market repackaged and remastered to do the album justice.Vocal Joe Dokken Eden - Fan The Flame 2003 (Hard Rock) USA

Another fine rock band from Switzerland, delivering one of the best albums of the year so far. Kick ass rock'n roll similar to early SHAKRA!! Maxxwell - All In 2011 (Hard Rock) Switzerland

Lovers Lane - St. 1989 (Hard Rock) USA
For those interested in this band, they released a 6 track cassette only back in 1989. On that one, you'll hear more of an 80's sound..(delbert)Lovers Lane - St. 1989 (Hard Rock) USA

This singer's vocals do remind of Klaus Lessmann, with maybe a little Vince Neil throw in- esp. during the verses of track #2, "Hollywood." Stylewise, I hear a bit more of a Hollywood glam vibe, maybe mixed with some southern bluesy influences, but regardless of which direction the band was aiming for, they squarely hit the mark with HUGE hooks, catchy riffs and minimal filler- not an inconsequential feat given the length of the album.(jstoyz)Lovers Lane - Chiseled In Stone 1994 (Hard Rock) USA

Sign Of Victory is the second album of the glam metal band Buster Brown. It is the only Buster Brown album to feature drummer James Kottak.After this album, singer Johnny Edwards and drummer James Kottak were recruited by guitarist Ronnie Montrose into his band Montrose. They played on Montrose's Mean album.
The song "Dirty Girl" resembles the Sweet Savage song "Straight Through The Heart" and, to a lesser extent, the Dio song "Caught In The Middle". The song "Monkey Bars" is a cover of the song originally done by Canadian rock band Coney Hatch.

Sven Larsson - Sunlight And Shadow 2010 (Westcoast AOR)Suecia
Sven Larsson is best known for his work on the albums of the Swedish Westcoast AORsters Street Talk. His solo debut “Sunlight And Shadow” is an album of excellent musicianship and well written rock songs, with a fine sense for melodies and harmonies.Sven Larsson - Sunlight And Shadow 2010 (Westcoast AOR)Suecia

Another early 80's very rare AOR nugget unearthed and issued on CD for the first time ever by Retrospect!! Originally released in 1982 as a VERY limited edition picture disc on a tiny fledgling label, Silver Shadow were an extremely talented female fronted Melodic Rock / AOR band from Southern California. Complete with rockin' guitars and tasty solo's, pompy keyboards and all around top notch musicianship along with killer catchy songs -- this 4 song EP (sadly, the only original songs they ever recorded), will have you begging for more and wondering why they weren't huge in 1982!! Digitally remastered.

John Warren - Take Me Back 1988 + Private Motion 1989 (AOR/Hi Tech)"Jap Release" USA
Another great AOR mini-album made by John Warren with Hi-Tech Pop influences, a good example is the entitled "Take Me Back". "The Love Beat" this song reminded of "Silent Running"(Mike & The Mechanix) a lot). "Into the Night" catchy song, nice tune and good solo(Harmonica and Guitar) with a pomp feeling on the chorus. "Carry On" my favorite AOR song here!. "I'll Do Anything for You" a semi-ballad , what a voice! similar to Steve Overland. "Tell me Now" great uptempo song that finishes the album in an excellent way. Super-Recommended.(juan carlos)John Warren - Take Me Back 1988 + Private Motion 1989 (AOR/Hi Tech)"Jap Release" USA

Hi-Tech AOR/Pop.The album itself has almost identical sound to Drama-Escapades album, or The Next.Sometimes it sounds too poppy like NKOTB.But it has it's moments.There are a few hi-tech AOR tunes in Joe Pasquale vein. "Youth" is brilliant, believe me. Great, young vocals,nice melodies, catchy refrain totally in BLVD vein."Lipstick" has got a lot of guitars in it and it sounds like norwegian DRAMA or Creation.One serious filler- "The jam is cold".All in all, good album if you like mentioned bands or R.Nevile.(P.Poland)C'Vello - St. 1992 (AOR/Hi-Tech) USA
