Requested in "REQUEST & FILL CORNER" section...
Founded by Canadian vocalist / drummer Michael Shotten and bass player Matthew Gerrard (a songwriting duo contributing songs for Triumph among others) plus Croatian born guitarist simply called Mladen, VON GROOVE born in Gerrard's own basement recording studio in the early Nineties.
The tapes they recorded sounded so great that A&M Records signed the band and decided to release the material without modifications.
However Chrysalis wanted some 'sure fire' potential single hits, so Von Groove agreed to re-record 4 of the songs in Los Angeles with super-drummer Deen Castronovo (Bad English, Hardline, Journey) and famous (and talented) Richie Zito producing.

What a massive, powerful Melodic Rock Sound! Yeah, that's the way I like it (too)! So I say thanks for those vigorous vibes!
ReplyDeleteBye for now,

For once I dont download dis since I have the original japanese cd! in any case great one camel. B
ReplyDeleteThe first original japanese press was on Bruette label and included a sticker (and of course the 2 bonus tracks). It was later reissued in Japan by Bareknuckle with same audio contents inc the bonus tracks but without the sticker. The 2 bonus tracks were added much later to a european legit (? mmmm....) and remastered (?? mmmmm) CD release of the debut on Z records.
ReplyDeleteDeen Castronovo is not anymore with Journey
ReplyDeleteHi Camelblue, watch out. Chrysalis released this originally, not A&M! At the time they (Chrysalis) were already fully owned by EMI and having a hit with Slaughter and I think that's it. Not a very rock oriented label in the late 80s/early 90s....
ReplyDeleteWalter Nudo ; you're right!

the Japanese version was not the one that brought the song "I CAN NOT STOP LOVING YOU", because I have that version and that theme comes as a bonus
