Pioneers of the UK pomp / melodic hard rock scene, the two more celebrated albums by GRAND PRIX remastered with bonus tracks by Rock Candy Records have been requested here. “Samurai“ is their last album, another superb slice of melodic rock / AOR.
Grand Prix tenure with RCA produced two albums – their eponymous debut with original vocalist Bernie Shaw was particularly memorable, and a really good follower finally released several years later due a conflict between the label and the band.
But it will be for their swansong LP “Samurai” that the band are best remembered, released via Chrysalis Records in 1983. “Samurai” is a prime example of British Pomp infused AOR at its best, and as such is utterly indispensable in your collection.

Pioneers of the UK pomp / melodic hard rock scene, the two more celebrated albums by GRAND PRIX remastered with bonus tracks by Rock Candy Records have been requested here. The band’s self-titled debut LP “Grand Prix” is delicious from start to finish.
