SHADOW PAGE BAND – Hanging By A Thread +5 [AOR Blvd Records Collectors Series Volume 4] (2024) *HQ*

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

For years impossible to find as it was released by an indie label, AOR Blvd Records finally heard all AOR / Melodic Rock fans prayers and released for the first time on CD the SHADOW PAGE BAND 1985’s album “Hanging By A Thread” – and with a majestic remastered sound plus 5 previously unreleased tracks.
Despite the album cover art makes you think about NWoBHM or edgy hard rock, SHADOW PAGE BAND play here radio friendly melodic rock, with a litte power power pop and lite AOR thrown in. Musically, think Shooting Star, Harlequin, Cheap Trick, Franke & The Knockouts, The Synch, even Huey Lewis & The News…

Fronted by singer / songwriter Shadow Page owner a distinctive tenor voice, this New Jersey band rocked the area sharing stages with later well known names in the melodic hard rock field. ‘Hanging By A Thread’ was recorded 1985, but musically, style and production-wise the music sounds more early Eighties, circa 1982 – you know ‘the sound’, with a varied and strong guitar work.
The remaster is superb, and the unreleased are very good, multi-track recorded, professionally produced.
A blast from the past, and darn infectious.
