Requested in "REQUEST & FILL CORNER" section...

Riding the wave of successful Scandi-AOR in Europe during the second half of 80s, Dutch five-piece EAST COAST recorded this self-titled album in 1988.
The immediate reference should be fellow countrymen Zinatra, but East Coast were more influenced by Swedish bands of the era like Dalton (Out Of Control), add a touch of Germans Dominoe (Tonight) and a bit of British AORsters Outside Edge (Hes Your Lover) and you get the picture.
The quite more vigorous Fight and It Doesnt Matter Anymore brings to mind the harder side of Norwegians Da Vinci, while the smooth Red Light Lady and Save Our Planet are fine ballads.

"East Coast" is a keyboard-driven AOR album with pumping bass lines, cool rhythm guitars and sweet lead vocals, with a typical Euro 80s sound pretty well produced.
Out of print for years, the album is fetching ridiculous prices at eBay these days, a true collectors piece.
"East Coast" was reissued in 2007 by a Spanish label - I assume unofficially, as the source is the vinyl LP. So avoid the purchase.

Theres some mp3s file floating the web but all are taken from vinyl or the aforementioned bootleg.
This is a rip from the original Dutch CD release, rare as hell...
