Mere Mortals – Immortalized (1987)

hort-lived melodic rock outfit from Utica, New York act between 1985-1988 with two fabulous releases. “Immortalized” is their second effort produced by Bob Francis Acquaviva and sold close to 5000 copies only in Oneida Country in New York while the band performed several live gigs with Patty Smith, Foghat, Little America, Benny Mardones and Zebra.

Althought the production is not the best the album offer you some impressive clean cut slice of AOR with sharp keyboard lines and some catchy chorus. With a better promotion and work harder on songwriting they would be one of the hotest names around that period.
