CINDERELLA / JEFF LaBAR / REMASTER

CINDERELLA – Night Songs [Bad Reputation remaster 2-CD] (2021) *0dayrox Exclusive*

Bad Reputation specialists have reissued CINDERELLA‘s terrific debut album ”Night Songs” in a special edition digipak including a bonus disc, all fully remastered.
Hailing from Pennsylvania and fronted by charismatic vocalist / guitarist Tom Keifer, Cinderella was discovered by Jon Bon Jovi who helped to get the band signed by Mercury Records. The rest is history; “Night Songs” sold several million copies due to a combination of Cinderella’s breakthrough single ‘Nobody’s Fool’, MTV airplay, and opening slots on labelmates Bon Jovi’s tour, in support of their album Slippery When Wet.
A classic in its own right, “Night Songs” is without a doubt Cinderella’s finest moment (while their second Long Cold Winter may be a close second), plenty of catchy songs and ’80s magic.
The sound quality of this double disc remastered reissue is excellent, including a bonus track and a really good live disc capturing Cinderella at its prime.

JEFF LaBAR (Cinderella) – One For The Road (retail CD + extra song)

While most people view Tom Keifer as the mastermind behind platinum rockers Cinderella — and rightfully so, considering he was their principal songwriter, guitarist JEFF LaBAR was an essential part of the band’s sound.
That’s why “One For The Road“, LaBar’s first solo offering, was so intriguing, because we could finally hear what the guitarist was capable of in terms of composing songs and bringing them to life.
And the dud is disipated since opener “No Strings”, sounding like a chaotic compilation of Cinderella’s ‘Somebody Save Me’ and Dokken’s ‘It’s Not Love,’ complete with a familiar set of string bends during the introduction which pays homage to the former. The guitarist himself recognizes that the song could easily fit on a new Cinderella record, just…
