GARY MOON – Still Moon [MelodicRock Classics remaster +6] (2025/2026) *HQ*

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

MelodicRock Classics continues its mission of reviving great albums from the past and giving them a fresh lease on life. On this occasion it is the great GARY MOON getting the remaster/reissue treatment. His acclaimed 1995 album ‘Still Moon‘ was filled with quality melodic rock from the voice that previously worked with Jeff Paris, Night Ranger and Three Dog Night, plus also appearing on solo albums from Night Ranger’s Brad Gillis and Kelly Keagy.
This bunch of forgotten songs were recorded in the late ’80s by a U.S. combo known as THE PACK.
THE PACK consisted of singer and session bass player GARY MOON (later in NIGHT RANGER’s “Feeding Off The Mojo” album), extraordinaire songwriter & musician JEFF PARIS, top guitarist BRAD GILLIS (NIGHT RANGER founder), and AUTOGRAPH keyboarder Steven Isham.
This is is wonderful melodic rock music, with top class songwriting. These songs are pure second half of the ’80s American Melodic Hard Rock with a rocking AOR feeling at places. Gary has a great soulful voice and Gillis plays his heart out on the six-strings flying over the fretboard (trust your ears to discover in which tracks he’s playin’).
This remastered reissue is augmented with a previously unreleased studio track and live recordings.

This is one of our favorite CD’s, all songs are awesome, catchy and crammed with sticky choruses. Despite being originally pre-production demos, all were pro / multi-track recorded, and the sound quality is very, very good.
Gary Moon decided to self-release these lost recordings under his moniker some time ago, but it’s very hard (if not impossible) to put your hands on an original CD these days. So this remastered reissue is more than welcome
I’d dare to say that “Still Moon” is A MUST HAVE into any serious any Melodic Hard Rock / AOR collection. Yeap, it’ that good.
