REENO Dec 14, 2022
The main thing about this album, that few people seem to be aware of, is that this is basically a Dan Hartman album, with James on lead vocals. Quite an interesting collaboration, and solid effort.

Also of note: Steve Winwood & Stevie Ray Vaughn also make appearances.

awesome sound all the way! I had the original CD from the late 80's of this and this LP sounds amazing as the vinyl version, the songs are upbeat, and full of energy, a sleeper in my opinion, get this one cheap and enjoy the music and your sound system! Masterdisk etched in the deadwax.
