TALISMAN (Jeff Scott Soto) – Humanimal [Deluxe Edition remastered / extra tracks]

Some time ago all the TALISMAN catalog has been reissued by a Swedish label with new artwork, newly remastered audio and previously unreleased material. We already presented most of these on this blog but a couple missing, and two that can’t be absent in your Talisman / Jeff Scott Soto collection.
TALISMAN’s third studio album “Humanimal“, for many, their best.
Finding a hole in his busy schedule, in January 1994 Jeff Scott Soto joined the guys in Sweden and recorded & mixed the new album “Humanimal” at Sound Trade Studios in Stockholm, working together with studio and mixing engineer Ronny Lahti (Europe, Electric Boys).

TALISMAN (Jeff Scott Soto) – Truth [Deluxe Edition remastered / extra tracks]

TALISMAN was the pride and joy of talented Marcel Jacob (RIP) who always dreamed with his own band after play and record with the likes of Yngwie and John Norum. With the mighty Jeff Scott Soto they formed this great Melodic Hard Rock / AOR outfit keeping the fire burning during the hardest decade for the genre: the Nineties.
Since last year, the entire Talisman catalog it’s being reissued (many already presented here in this website) by a Swedish label with new artwork, newly remastered audio and previously unreleased material.
Now it’s the time for Talisman’s 5th studio album “Truth“, where the Swedish combo goes for a more commercial sound to reach a wider audience.
The album was not very well received in the press, but that was pure prejudice just because Soto & Jacob decided to include here some atypical cover songs for a Melodic Hard Rock band. Those are; Queen’s classic”Let Me Entertain You”, “Darling Nikki” from Prince’, and “Frozen”, the famous Madonna’s hit…

EYES (Jeff Scott Soto) – 24U [2-CD Set] Out Of Print

Many of you have been requested Jeff Scott Soto material, particularly the band EYES he was involved with. This American hard rock outfit released two stupendous albums at the beginning of the ’90s that simply didn’t get the attention it so rightly deserved the first time around.
This 2-CD set titled “24U” includes EYES’ two official albums plus unreleased / rare tracks, and it’s a must have in your collection.
Originally formed in the mid-Eighties under the band name L.A. Rocks (several demos were taped) in its first attempt featured Kelly Hansen on lead vocals, guitarist Steve Dougherty (ex- Burning Rome, Berlin), bassist Chuck Wright (ex- Giuffria) and drummer Aldy Damian. Hansen took off for the band Hurricane and Chuck Wright to Quiet Riot and House Of Lords.
Enter new bassist Jimmy O’Shea (ex-Cacophony) and powerhouse vocalist Jeff Scott Soto (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen) and a brand new moniker in EYES, circa 1989.
This is a fantastic band quite unknown for many Jeff Scott Soto fans. Production is brilliant, where the backing vocals are huge emulating Def Leppard’s technique of layered harmonies…
