FORTRESS – Hands In The Till [Rock Candy remastered & reloaded]
As requested, here’s the wonderful long lost AOR / Arena Rock cult classic from the ’80s “Hands In The Till” by FORTRESS, remastered & reloaded by Rock Candy Records with a crisp sound from the original master tapes.
With a touch of Pomp also thrown into the mix, this album really is a one-off all time classic of it’s type. Full of glorious uptempo rockers, this is music from a bygone era when albums were ten-fold, and often got overlooked – as was the case with “Hands In The Till”.
Led by the golden-coated vocals of Jim West, the Fortress brand of rock was punchy, energetic and melodious. Songs like “How Do I Exist”, “Hands In The Till”, “Kisses”, the Axe-like “Requiem” and the utterly immense “Mystery” are still firm fan favorites to this day…
