BENJAMIN ORR / ELLIOT EASTON / THE CARS

ELLIOT EASTON – Change No Change +5 [Wounded Bird remastered reissue] (2021)

Wounded Bird Records has reissued / remastered two solo albums from The Cars members, the already featured here and must have Benjamin Orr’s ‘The Lace’, and this, guitarist ELLIOT EASTON long out of print 1985 solo LP ”Change No Change”. This release includes several bonus tracks taken from Easton’s unreleased second album ‘Band Of Angels’.
Co-written with talented Jules Shear who also provide baking vocals, ”Change No Change” was a pretty modern album for 1985, with some Cars elements and that classic rock&pop style but a wider exploration of sounds and rhythms…

BENJAMIN ORR / REMASTER

BENJAMIN ORR – The Lace [Wounded Bird Records remastered] (2021) *EXCLUSIVE*

Out of print and fetching ridiculous price at auction sites, Wounded Bird Records has reissued their remastered version of The Car’s founding member BENJAMIN ORR only solo album, “The Lace“.
With guitars handled by session whiz Michael Landau and bandmate Elliot Easton, and co-production / keyboards courtesy of talented musician and longtime Joni Mitchell collaborator/then-husband Larry Klein, the musicianship was top-notch, and the same can be said for the majority of the songs, all of which were co-written by Orr with his fiancée Diane Grey Page.
Originally appeared in 1986, “The Lace” is pure ’80s from every corner: this is a terrific slice from the golden era with ‘that soun’d – co-produced / engineered by the great Mike Shipley (Def Leppard, Scorpions).
The atmospheric AOR Top 40 single “Stay The Night” still is a classic radio staple, and one of the best representation of the ’80s.
If you are fan of classic ’80s hi-tech AOR with a heap of keyboards and an excellent singer, then ‘The Lace’ should be a compulsory acquisition. For me, it’s a must have.
