A mega rare CD only released in Australia in limited quantity.
ADRIAN'S WALL was Adrian Campbell's child, a studio project with local professional musicians.
Campbell, a session vocalist himself, has recorded and arranged backing vocals in countless albums in the land of Oz.
Around 1976, was the lead singer and stable member of AVALANCHE, a hard rock band whose debut album had moderate success, opening live shows for major international bands.
In the 80's, Adrian has recorded an album with the band DE ARROW (pre - ROXUS), sadly still unreleased, from which only 4 demo tracks are floating around, a great keyboard oriented melodic rock / AOR stuff.
As said, ADRIAN'S WALL was his own project, not strictly AOR, mixing many genres, but encompassing all the styles we like.
My favourite song here is "Finally Deciding", a good resume of the overall sound.
Featuring the great BRETT GARSED [NELSON, SOLO] on guitars (before his international stardom in the USA), this CD is a delightful listen, something different from the usual on this site.
A recommended addition to your collection, good music and very, very rare, hard to find album.

Hi there.
It's a great album.
Of course, I am interested.
Any band photos, press release, or new demo recordings are welcome.
Share with us here your father's stuff if you want to.
Cheers
cheers, it is really cool to hear you enjoy the album. my favourite song is afraid to be afraid, specifically the intro and brett garsed's solo in the bridge.
i have heaps of band photo's, i also have a never released music video of adrian, my father and brett garsed for the song reach out. i think there's about 6 demo's on 8 track tape.
i'll try and get it onto youtube?
and if your interested my father is now a jazz presenter on 3MBS FM 103.5 here in victoria. :)
cheers
@ Patrick Groves :
Jazz presenter on FM? Interesting.
Is he still active as musician? I'm sure he is.
How about to transfer that 8 track tape to mp3 and upload it to a free host (megaupload or alikes) ? And post the link here.
Also the music video.
A lot people (including me) would be happy to hear these talented musicians -
Where could I buy a cd copy of this? I have it on vinyl but I no longer have a turntable, so i'd like it on cd or digital download.
@ Aslan:
Out Of Print.
Found this CD in a bargain bin not so long ago.

@camelblue
You made my night. Thanks!
Yeah I bought the vinyl for $2 from Cunno's in 1991. At the time I judged the album by its cover, but I still remember it all now. =]
Cheers!
