PENNY LANE – In Memoriam (1994) *Exclusive* Rare
As requested, here’s the rare “In Memoriam“, the one and only album from melodic hard rockers PENNY LANE. The ‘Limited Edition – 1,000 copies only’ is stamped on the CD, and this has become a collectors item sold for over $300 on eBay.
The term PENNY LANE is certainly familiar to rock fans around the world. The fact that once there was a German hard rock band of the same name is probably less well known. Their music is catchy hard rock with melody, very American sounding circa 1988.
In fact, the album was written and recorded 1990-1991, but shelved. Then in 1994 stars aligned and the 10-tracker was finally released titled “In Memoriam”, as by then the band didn’t existed anymore, with the musicians involved in other projects.
Despite the indie nature of “In Memoriam” sound quality and production are fine, and there’s some darn good rocking songs in this CD. The band feels very American, melodic, with driving guitar riffs and cool hooks…
