SARAYA – Outtakes [Japan Hard Sun Collectors CD] *EXCLUSIVE*
In similar fashion of Japanese indie / club collectors label AOR Moon, there’s some series labeled as ‘Hard Sun Collectors‘, and they have put out this wonderful collection of Sandy SARAYA songs titled ”Outtakes”.
We have no less than 19 demo tracks recorded between 1982-1990, and most of these are unreleased songs, never included into any of both Saraya (the band) albums.
Originally appeared in 2000, this is a recent re-press of the CD with a much better sound quality, obviously taken from better source tapes.
A must for female-fronted AOR / Melodic Rock collectors

Their first 2 albums are superb.
where can i buy it
Not for sale. A 0dayrox compilation.
I’m as sceptical as anyone going into a demos release as the back of our mind says, if it wasn’t good enough for making the cut then why should it be good enough now?! This collection starts off just that way with a lot of weak tracks or weak production (inevitably) but as you get into it, it starts to show glimmers of hope. The best way to put it is this… there isn’t any exact album cuts that would send the mind back to nostalgic times. HOWEVER as these are new or never before heard tunes, it does take you back to the time when you discovered Saraya all those years ago and in turn, gives you that happy feeling you received when you heard just how good this band was. To that end I’d strongly suggest y’all grab yourself this mix of songs as in there somewhere you will again reignite that great feeling you got when you heard Saraya stamp their mark on our AOR past. In places a great collective of songs. Bravo to Dayrox. We are lucky to be able to relive our amazing past
So how can someone listen to these besides on Youtube? Would love to obtain an mp3 or CD-R of these tracks if anyone has and is willing to share, sell or trade for them?
