4.0 out of 5 stars great 80's sound-not new material, just songs never released, April 28, 1999

Steve Plunkett released these songs that were raw versions of songs that didn't make any of their three rca cds. Typical rockin' Autograph material, good guitars. If you were into what Autograph did in their cd releases then you'll love this one, it adds to your Autograph collection nicely. Although I think the raw version of Turn up the Radio is kind of weak or sub par recording, all of the other trax rock in Autograph style. Sure do wish he put the two soundtrack songs on it "You can't hide from the beast inside of you"- from the Fright Night movie Soundtrack, and a great rocker "winning"- from the Youngblood Movie Soundtrack, but he didn't and you'll have to own these two cds to have the full Autograph collection. And for anyone wanting an excellent hard rock/metal cd get - Victory-"Voiceprint" it is just plain great and these guys still rock with the metal sound of the 80's and early 90's, believe me if you like Dokken, Ratt, Warrant from the 80's early 90's you will love this!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice rarities/unreleased collection but missing something, September 1, 2000

This is a collection of Autograph demos/b-sides/rarities/unreleased tracks. All of the unreleased tracks are of high quality and could have fit well on the studio albums. The demo of "Turn up the radio" in particular is nice and kind of gives you an idea of what some Def Leppard music would sound like without all the studio polish, in the essence that Autograph has been said to be similar to Def Leppard. Although, I must say the version of Turn up the radio from the "Sign in please" cd is still my favorite, sometimes a bit of studio polish is a good thing. As has been said before, this album is a bit of wasted potential which is why i give it the four star rating instead of five. I would have liked to see at least one live tune, I would have liked to see the band reunite for just one song that was written during the making of this cd (around 1997), even if it was with a new lineup. Everything in this cd is from the past and some 10 years old or so at least. Finally, it is a real pain in the ass that they didn't include "Winning is everything" from the Young Blood movie soundtrack and the Fright Night song as it could have saved alot of people from hunting down those cd's just for those two songs, I only have the tape of Youngblood and it is showing it's age. Basically, this would have been the perfect outlet to get some really cool and rare stuff on here, what is one here though is very well done though so despite my bitching, the album is worth the money for a fan of Autograph or similar rock music. If you are new to the band, check out 'Sign in please' first, though..........

One of the best bands in the genre, Autograph never released their 3rd album, though you can find most of the material in this posthumous collection - just great stuff from the golden era! As of PearlJam: a junior high school band whose singer has laryngitis..
