Loverboy – VI (Japan Bonus Track ) 1997

After a full decade off, Loverboy reunited in 1997 for VI. Like many of their peers, Loverboy wasn’t able to secure a contract with a major label and decided to attach themselves to CMC International,an imprint specializing in veteran rockers. While the group certainly doesn’t reach the heights of Get Lucky, they don’t embarrass themselves.There certainly are some mediocre cuts scattered throughout the record,but the best moments make the record worthwhile for longtime Loverboy fans. [Avex Trax’s 1998 Japanese edition included one bonus track.]
