It's a total giveaway, isn't it? When the guitarist "remixes" old demo's and rerecords the guitar parts is anyone really surprised when the vocals and bass become inaudible beneath the ego of the man at the faders? No, not really. Which is a shame as it happens, as this album is potentially full of great songs dragged into the late nineties with all the productions whizz-bangs at Paul Chapman's disposal. Sadly we will never know how great they might have sounded as this sounds like Mr. Chapman was demoing his playing and not his song-writing ability. It's clear to me he holds both Pete Way and Danny Vaughn in contempt. If you want to know how these two fine musicians really sound, buy some "UFO" (Pete Way) or better still get some "Tyketto" or "Vaughn". Better songs, better production (and if you get the right albums) better guitar playing. 2 out of 5 says it all. Avoid this like you'd avoid something really horrible on the pavement that you don' want to step in.

The content of this CD is basically the Save Your Prayers album from 1987. The guitar solos are great but since this was recorded off old studio tapes the high-end is poor. Its a safe bet that Capitol Records will never re-issue a CD of this album, I would say BUY IT

The content of this album, which is basically the Save Your Prayers album from 1987, was copied off some old tape found by Paul Chapman. There is some great guitar solos but not much high-end on this recording. Still its a great album and most likely will never be re-issued by Capitol Records. If you like 80s/90s hard rock BUY IT
