PRICE-SULTON – Lights On [Japan CD] (1986) Rare Albums
As requested, here’s the rare Japanese CD edition of PRICE-SULTON 1986’s album “Lights On“. This was the project of North American songwriters / session musicians Thommy Price (Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Blue Öyster Cult, Billy Idol) and Kasim Sulton (The New Cars, Utopia), both having contributed songs for other recording artists, performed on several major productions, involved in Hollywood movie soundtracks, etc.
Their work together ended into this 10-track album released by a major label CBS but as happened with many artists, suffered of distribution troubles. ”Lights On” found its way into the Japanese market, the only country to be pressed on CD.
This is more than a rare CD, but a collection of wonderful mid-Eighties radio-ready tunes with that classic US / Canadian sound ranging from Lite AOR to mainstream rock&pop. The list of musicians involved (check below) is impressive.
