320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ 1 /// HQ 2

Many of you have been asking for an updated, remastered version of BOSTON criminally underrated 1994’s album “Walk On”. The first known remastered verions was released in Japan, in 2006, and it’s a fine job. But this new sonic treatment for ita SHM-CD reissue is even better. Elsewhere, we hear an improved dynamic range, quite better guitar layers of sound, defined vocals and an overall punchy output.
”Walk On [Japan Ltd. Edition SHM-CD, Remastered]” was indeed a limited reissue, sold out soon and never re-pressed – a shame. Even used copies are really hard to find now.
Speaking about the music itself, “Walk On” is a very underestimated album, but for us, one of Boston’s best. After the success of their 1986 album ‘Third Stage’ the band began planning a follow-up and writing for “Walk On”, which began in 1988.
However, due to the increased friction and disagreements between Tom Scholz and Brad Delp, the latter left the band in 1989 to join original Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau in forming a new band, the really good RTZ.

Soon after, Fran Cosmo (previously frontman for the awesome project Orion The Hunter) was hired and introduced as the new lead singer. Delp returned to Boston to assist in the writing, and shared lead vocals on the subsequent Walk On Tour, though he did not sing on the album.
Additionally, top class vocalist Tommy Funderburk provided harmony / background vocals all over the recording.

Boston’s “Walk On” is a great album in our book, with awesome melodic arrangements aplenty, and this Japan-only release / remastered reissue on SHM-CD is a must.
