Heartland – All Japanes Editions (1991-2011) lossless

Heartland was originally formed by Chris with Gary Sharpe in order to get a publishing deal. However the band did better that that, landing themselves a deal with the major label A&M Records. Their self titled debut was released in 1991 and was produced by James “Jimbo” Barton. Heartland also played a number of live dates as support to Mr. Big.

Unfortunately AOR / Melodic Rock star was on the wane in the early nineties and Heartland ultimately lost the A&M deal. However Chris and Gary along with Steve Gibson had already recorded some demo material for the next album. With the help of Khalil Turk, these demos were released as the second Heartland “Wide Open” in 1994 on the now defunct Long Island Records ( Escape Music re-issued this album with some bonus material five years later ).

By this time though Gary had lost interest in the project & Chris was left to continue on his own.
