As the
info-sheet states: “From the Vault (A Collection of works by Rick Springfield &
Jeff Silverman)” is a collection of newly mastered and some previously
un-released demos from Grammy-Award-Winner Rick Springfield and veteran
producer, engineer, songwriter, and lead-guitar player from his first touring
band, Jeff Silverman.
The album
consists of thirteen tracks originally recorded between 1986 and 1999, and have
for this album been re-mastered by Jeff Silverman, and the sound is fine, but my
biggest concern is: Who need these songs? Really, really hard-core fans might
get a kick out of these melodic songs, and if you are one of those, who lock the
doors, and listen to Richard Marx and Mr. Mister with the curtains down then
there might be something here for you here... But I doubt any of our regular
readers will even give this one a second thought!
Frontiers
Records is simultaneously releasing a nice double package consisting of Rick's
latest album "Venus in Overdrive" with a bonus track and the DVD "Live in
Rockford", which was originally released in 2006 in the USA only.
Both
releases are strictly for fans only...
