FRICTION – Baby Talk (1990) Out of print

“Baby Talk“, the only official album from American melodic hard rockers FRICTION is one of rarest U.S. indie CD’s out there. Currently there’s an eBay auction asking U$D 2,500 for it, go figure. While many rare album doesn’t worth that ridiculous price, “Baby Talk” is so much sought after there’s a reason: the music is awesome US melodic hard rock, and production fabulous for an indie.
FRICTION born in 1982 and the band recorded several demos with major labels interested but good luck eluded the band. Anyway, they managed to release “Baby Talk” by themselves, professionally factory pressed yet in limited quantities.
The 11 songs packed here are like a cross between BLUE TEARS and early BON JOVI, rich in melody, catchiness, harmony vocals plus with some AORish moments.
Tracks like ‘Down And Lonely’, ‘Lover’s Lane’, ‘Too Late To Cry’ or the very good power ballad ‘Wave Goodbye To A Friend’ shoulda propelled FRICTION to stardom.
Being hard to find, there has been various bootlegs and transcoded versions of “Baby Talk”, this is taken from the original CD pressing.
