VA Elektra AOR Collection Japan only 1993

VA Elektra AOR Collection Japan only 1993


VA - Elektra AOR Collection [Japan only] (1993) Rare
Request fulfilled, hard to find

Some time ago a reader requested some early material from John David Souther, who in very late 70s changed his artistic name to J.D. Souther releasing the stupendous Youre Only Lonely LP. His previous albums are not easy to find, but digging deep in my collection something appeared.
And its this rare compilation only released in Japan (limited quantities) in 1993 by Elektra / Warner Records, including tracks from their AOR / Westcoast artist roster.

"Elektra AOR Collection" is wonderful compilation featuring some of the finest Westcoast artists from the late 70s / early 80s - the golden age of the genre. You cant go wrong with cats of the stature of John OBanion, Bruce Roberts, Robbie Dupree (tracks from his 1st and 2nd albums) or Bill Champlin.
However, most of them are well known by AOR fans, and the real find here are the songs from J.D. Souther, plus the excellent Rupert Holmes, Andrew Gold and Terence Boylan.

All the albums from where these tracks are taken have been reissued on CD, but today are almost impossible to find. So this is a great chance to have on CD quality these hard-to-get tunes.
"Elektra AOR Collection" is a collectors piece and a stunning set of songs to enjoy.
MEGA RARE.
