CHINA – Go All The Way [Japan HR/HM 1000 Vol.5 series Limited Release] (2022) HQ *only at 0dayrox*

Universal Music Japan did it again, a new campaign of their ‘HR/HM 1000‘ series – the Limited Release reissue of long time out of print albums from their Hard Rock / Heavy Metal catalog at the price of 1000 Yen = about 8 USD.
Now it’s time for the second 2022 batch, ”HR-HM 1000 Vol.5”, and as part of these there’s the very good, criminally underrated “Go All The Way“, the third studio album from Swiss melodic hard rockers CHINA.
For this 1991 album CHINA changed the lead vocalist – enter Eric St. Michaels – but what a great improvement. While the previous two albums from this group are awesome, “Go All The Way” is the most ‘American melodic rock’ ever from the band, and St. Michaels’ voice shine all over the record.
Recorded in the USA with producer Stephan Galfas (Cher, Meat Loaf, Stryper) songs like ‘Slow Dancing in Hell’, ‘She Did a Real Good Job’, ‘Life Keeps Moving On’, ‘In Trouble With Angels’ or ‘Pictures Of You’ could have been written or recorded by the likes of Winger, Warrant or Steelheart.

CHINA – Sign In The Sky +10 [Bad Reputation 2xCD Remastered] (2020) *0dayrox EXCLUSIVE*

Here’s in exclusive the just released Bad Reputation Records 2xCD remastered version of CHINA‘s “Sign In The Sky“, a wonderful slice of late 80s European Melodic Rock / AOR.
To put it short, this is a cracker in the same style of Treat’s “Organized Crime”, Hurricane’s “Slave To The Thrill”, or Black ‘N Blue’s “Nasty Nasty”: a glossy, polished, hugely produced gem for the genre.
All songs are very good, melodic, groovy at places, catchy, but the star here is midtempo “In The Middle Of The Night”, one of these bass-pumped AOR tunes essential in your collection…
