Requested in "Request & Fill Corner" section...
Formed in the USA in 1980, D V C's main attention was focused on the fact that drummer John Bolin is the younger brother of the late Tommy Bolin (DEEP PURPLE).
This brought substantial press coverage and the band got a deal with Alfa Records (a CBS subsidiary).
The group's 1981 self-titled debut also included a Tommy Bolin's 'Teaser' cover version, heavily played by radio stations across the country. I like D V C's version of 'Teaser' much more than the original from T. Bolin's LP, and it tops Motley Crue's 1989 version too.
But the winner here is opener 'Let Me Be Your Fantasy', a really good early '80s AOR tune, highly radiable and contagious.
The rest of the disc is more midwestern AOR-Rock / radio-poppy oriented, featuring an interesting dual guitar interplay between Forest and Bartle, and accurate vocal performances.
D V C toured extensively supporting VAN HALEN, JOHN 'COUGAR' MELLENCAMP and DARE FORCE, recording in-between their second LP, but abruptly the label deal and the upcoming '82 tour fell apart.
The group disbanded shortly after, and Johnnie Bolin joined DARE FORCE (Makin' Our Own Rules).
This is a cool album, sounds a little bit outdated, but it's a clear example of the seminal AOR scene.
Hard to find, ripped from the 2007 bootleg CD edition.

Thank you very much,
Wow, so cool to have a google hit on what you're searching for. I've had a cassette tap copy of this album I made when it was played on the radio back in the 80's? The tape is no more, so I didn't think I'd ever hear the album again.
Unfortunately, the link doesn't work (at least not for me - it takes me to depositfiles, but then nothing when I say download). Still, cool to learn a little something about the band.

@ Woodman:
Strange, I downloaded the file to test and works fine. Please try again and report here. Thanks
I don't know if it's work firewalls, or the fact I don't have java on this computer, but the download worked from home. Thanks again.

@ Woodman:
Glad it worked. Your job's computer must have some software enabled to prevent http download. Use a web-proxy next time.
A big THANK YOU for the re-post!
As an old Mpls rocker, this is a blast from the past. I saw these guys a few times back in the day and they were a very good live band. Dare Force was another good one from around here, with a big following. Thanks again and keep up the great site!!!
