From the great Sony Music Japan campaign AOR CITY Series Vol.2, a low-priced remastered reissue on 100 classic AOR / AC albums from their back catalog (many of them out of print or hard to find) here’s STRAIGHT LINES first album, the self-titled debut “Straight Lines“.

This Canadian outfit was founded by seasoned studio musicians David Sinclair and Bob Buckley, whom recorded for many well known artists.
The band originally gained popularity undedr the name Dogstar and attracted the attention of CBS Records in Toronto. The label loved the act (and the songs) but not the name so it was effectively changed to STRAIGHT LINES.

After a succession of songwriting episodes with Chilliwack’s Howie Vickers, the band went into the studio with producers Martin Shaer (The Runaways, Sweeney Todd) and Jack Richardson (Coney Hatch) to lay down tracks for their self-titled debut.

The LP spawn two singles; “Heads Are Gonna Roll” and “Roanne” (both made the Top 100 in the Canadian Rock chart).
To present the album, STRAIGHT LINES hit the road in 1981 with another Canadian awesome AOR act, Prism.

This first STRAIGHT LINES effort has a typical Canadian melodious waves from the early 80s; crystal clear sound and easy to the ear arrangements.
You’ll find here lovely melodies in the vein of Beau Geste, Duke Jupiter, HYTS, Balance, 707, Novo Combo or i-TEN, the type of songs to appeal the US market as well.
