Joy Winter - Frantic Romantic (1990)

Here we have Joy Winter, formerly Joy Dorris, frontwoman for legendary Canadian HiNRG/disco band Lime. 

Well, for their live performances anyway. Lime originator Denyse LePage continued to record the female vocals for the group, but she, along with husband and co-founder Denis, decided in the 1980's to hire the younger and prettier Joy and male singer Chris Marsh for tour duty. 

After many years, the two finally did record vocals for Lime's Brand New Day album, but that was the end of the road. 

Deciding to go solo the following year, Joy enlisted husband John Luongo, whose production and remix credits are vast, to produce the majority of the album. The production of the songs is fantastic and very of the time, with freestyle legends Lewis Martinee and Stevie B taking the reins on the best tracks. 

A mix of freestyle, HiNRG and pure pop, the album is a fantastic dance album. To be quite honest, Joy wasn't the world's greatest singer (sorry, Joy, if you're out there), but she makes up for it in enthusiasm. 

On the best track, "In Time You'll See" (one of my fave freestyle tracks of all time, BTW), Stevie B co-sings the song with her and improves it. 

She also gets an assist from the lovely ladies of Sequal with back-up on the Lewis Martinee tracks, including a remake of their own track, "Why Can't We Be Lovers". She even finally recorded her vocals on an old Lime song with her remake of "You're My Magician". 

Joy has no doubt honed her instrument over the years, and the album retains it's trashy pop pleasures thanks in large part to the great production. See for yourself...

Cheap Trick - Sgt. Pepper Live (2009)

Sgt. Pepper Live is a performance by the American rock band Cheap Trick with a full orchestra, released on August 25, 2009, in commemoration of the 42nd anniversary of the release of the historic album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles. Both a live album and a companion DVD of the performance were released. 

The album was engineered by Geoff Emerick. Cheap Trick performed the "Sgt. Pepper Live" show at the Las Vegas Hilton for two weeks in September 2009. 

Starting in 2007, Cheap Trick made it something of a habit to perform a full-length in-concert cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, celebrating the album's 40th Anniversary and getting them ever closer to their goal of actually being the Beatles. Orchestras were hired, guests invited, a splendid time was had by all, and now in 2009, the December 12, 2007 show is available as either a CD or DVD, mixed by Geoff Emerick himself, the engineer who worked with the Beatles on Pepper. 

This unabashed, unapologetic fan worship results in a record that sounds pretty much exactly like the original, only with a little more aggression in the rhythms and some funny accents in the vocals, including Joan Osborne sounding like Chrissie Hynde on "Lovely Rita." Everything, including the encore of Abbey Road's album-closing medley, is fun enough, but there's a big difference between seeing this live in concert and listening to it at home where you have the option to spin the Beatles instead. 

All tracks are written by Lennon–McCartney except where noted.

Stevie Ray Vaughan & Jeff Beck - The Fire Meets The Fury (1989)

Issued as a promotional compact disc by CBS Records, for the Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan 1989 tour, The Fire Meets The Fury_ lays out a total of sixteen cuts from the dynamic six string bending duo. 

Each legendary guitarist is showcased via eight songs, which alternate between the pair.

Touring as a three piece, along with drummer Terry Bozzio and bassist Tony Hymas, Beck was out on the road in support of his _Guitar Shop_ recording. 

The souped-up title track from the '89 release is included on the promo CD, along with "Stand On It" and "Savoy". In addition, retro Beck tracks, dating back to his days fronting The Jeff Beck Group ("Going Down"), fill out the collection, with "Beck's Bolero", "Freeway Jam", and "Blue Wind", adding depth to the release.

Stevie Ray and his tight Double Trouble backing band counter Beck's fretboard prowess with "Tightrope", "Pride and Joy", the raucous "The House is Rockin'", the bluesy "Couldn't Stand the Weather" and "Crossfire", standing out. Like Beck, Vaughan's cover of "Superstition" is included on the limited edition tour sampler.

Thomas emigreerde naar Nederland begin jaren tachtig en had daar in 1983 een wereldhit met het nummer Rock the Boat. In 1984 had hij een hit met de Band of Gold, Lovesongs are back again. In Nederland trad Thomas op met onder meer Lee Towers, Anita Meyer, René Froger, Rob de Nijs, Ruth Jacott, Frank Boeijen, Sandra Reemer, Hollywood Boulevard, Jocelyn Brown en George McCrae.

In 2004 trad Thomas samen met Ria Brieffies van de Dolly Dots, Alides Hidding (Time Bandits) en Ruby op in de theatershow 80’s Flashbacktour waarin grote danceklassiekers uit de jaren tachtig ten gehore werden gebracht, begeleid door de band Flair. In 2006 zong Thomas in het nummer Keepin it Real op het debuutalbum Mesmerize van DJ Maestro. In 2007 ging hij verder in het vervolg van de Flashbacktour.

Change - Love 4 Love (2018)

Change is an Italian-American post-disco group formed in Bologna, Italy, in 1979 by businessman and executive producer Jacques Fred Petrus (1948–1987) and Mauro Malavasi (born 1957). 

They were heavily influenced by the disco band Chic. The current incarnation of the group formed in 2018.

Change was initially formed in early 1979 as a studio band with a revolving cast of musicians, led by businessman and executive producer Jacques Fred Petrus, with the majority of song-writing and production carried out by Mauro Malavasi and Davide Romani.

The band's dual Italian and American identity was a result of a production system in which the music, excepting the vocals, were written and recorded by Italian collaborators in studios such as Fonoprint Studios, Bologna, Italy. 

The backing tracks were then taken to the USA where vocals were added by American performers, before being mixed into finalised versions in major studios such as the Power Station in New York City.

In 2018, Change returned with original members Davide Romani and Mauro Malavasi, and new vocalist Tanya Michelle Smith. The reformed act also released their first single and video, “Hit or Miss,” in June 2018, which is the lead off track from “Love 4 Love,” a nine-song set scheduled for a September 2018 release.

Little River Band - One Night In Mississippi - Live (2002)

A live recording from 2002, ONE NIGHT IN MISSISSIPPI.

Recorded live at River Palace Entertainment Center, Sam's Town Casino, Tunica, MS.

It features the Little River Band’s biggest hits, performed by a line-up bereft of all of the group’s principals from its 1970s hit-making era. Despite the lack of key original members, the combo sounds tight and polished, delivering note-perfect versions of soft rock classics “Reminiscing” and “Lonesome Losers” that come quite close to matching the originals’ smooth vibrancy. 

While some listeners may miss the distinctive lead vocals of Glenn Shorrock, ONE NIGHT IN MISSISSIPPI showcases the early-aughts version of the Little River Band at its polished best. 

This recording from 2002 finds the then current version of the band doing a mix of LRB hits and newer tunes taken from their 2000 release "Where We Started From". Overall the level of musicianship and vocals is extremely high reminiscent of the band at the peak of their success, some 20 years before.

The title of the recording, perhaps unintentionally, points to the very origins of the Little River Band which evolved out of a group called "Mississippi". The recording itself documents a band on tour allowing the audience on the recording (as well as the listener at home) to enjoy the sound and music of the Little River Band.

If you want to hear the original tunes done by the original line-up then put on an LRB Greatest Hits recording. If you want to hear the tunes you know (and some new ones thrown in for good measure) performed live to some very high standards then this recording fits the bill.

While it can be argued its not the original LRB line-up performing, it still sounds like the Little River Band we all know and it helps to keep their music alive and relevant for a whole new generation.
