Pretty Boy – Metro Sessions (1988)

WOW – FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ON CD , HERE IS ANOTHER FANTASTIC SLICE OF AOR / MELODIC HARD ROCK / HAIR METAL FROM THE LARGEST 80s HARD ROCK RE-ISSUE LABEL IN THE WORLD , RETROSPECT RECORDS.

SO WHO IS PRETTY BOY? IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE THREE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED RELEASES BY THE BAND ‘MARIAH’ (also released by Retrospect) THEN YOU’LL KNOW THAT MARIAH WERE ORIGINALLY CALLED ‘PRETTY BOY’.  HERE WE HAVE THE UNMISTAKABLE VOCAL PIPES OF DENNIS LIND , GUITARIST TIM COMPTON (one of the tastiest players ever) AND DRUMMER CURT BEARDEN , JOINED BY BROTHERS BILL AND JOHN BROWN ON BASS AND KEYBOARDS RESPECTIVELY.
THESE ARE THE SESSIONS THAT PROMPTED JON BON JOVI HIMSELF TO START WORKING WITH THE BAND…AND IT’S NOT HARD TO SEE WHY. THESE SONGS SOUND LIKE THEY COULD HAVE COME DIRECTLY OFF OF Slippery When Wet’ OR ‘7800 Fahrenheit’. THIS IS TRUELY AMAZING STUFF AND QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST 80s HARD ROCK ALBUM YOU’VE NEVER HEARD. HIT AFTER HIT , MASSIVE HOOKS , BIG PRODUCTION , TOP-NOTCH MUSICIANSHIP AND VOCAL HARMONIES GALORE. THIS CD IS AN ABSOLUTE ESSENTIAL ADDITION TO ALL FANS AND COLLECTORS OF 80s AOR / HAIR METAL / MELODIC HARD ROCK. WOW!
