THE JOE PERRY PROJECT – Let The Music Do The Talking [Japan miniLP remastered] Out Of Print

This is a long overdue request made by a fellow reader of this blog: THE JOE PERRY PROJECT‘s two first albums in its Japanese mini-LP remastered edition. It happens that these releases – out of print – have become very, very hard to find. And now you see them both exclusively at 0dayrox.
Let’s go with the first, “Let The Music Do The Talking“.
Fed up with the slow pace of the recording of the album Night In The Ruts and frustrated with the band’s precarious financial situation, Joe Perry left Aerosmith in the spring of 1979. He took a collection of unrecorded material with him, which would later become the basis of his album “Let the Music Do The Talking”.
Baptized The Joe Perry Project, the band featured vocalist Ralph Mormon, bassist David Hull and drummer Ronnie Stewart, alongside Perry on guitars and vocals. After securing a recording contract with Columbia, Perry recruited Aerosmith’s former producer Jack Douglas for “Let the Music Do The Talking”, and the album was a pretty successful with more than 250,000 copies sold.
This is a classic, guitar-driven hard rock album that would rival anything put out by Aerosmith. You gotta listen to the audio quality; it’s really superb…

THE JOE PERRY PROJECT – Once A Rocker, Always A Rocker [Japan SHM-CD mini-LP remastered] Out Of Print

And to complete THE JOE PERRY PROJECT request here’s their 3rd album “Once A Rocker, Always A Rocker“ in its Japanese SHM-CD mini-LP remastered reissue, now out of print. It was a limited edition, and the sound quality is superb.
After the band’s great second album ‘I’ve Got The Rock ’N’ Rolls Again’, Joe Perry completely reformed the whole project and recruited three new band members: Cowboy Mach Bell (vocals), Joe Pet (Drums) and Danny Hargrove (Bass).
With this new line-up and the determination to climb back up to stardom with his band, the musical orientation for “Once A Rocker, Always A Rocker” was slightly more commercial, focused on radio ready songs yet rocking storming anyway.
Mach Bell’s vocals brought a new dimension to the band, and overall he rocks with a strong, distinctive delivery.
The opening title track, ‘Once A Rocker, Always A Rocker’ is a short (just under 3 minutes) but a kickin’ rock and roller, very bluesy based. Next is one of the highlights…

THE JOE PERRY PROJECT – I’ve Got The Rock ‘N’ Rolls Again [Japan miniLP remastered] Out Of Print

This is a long overdue request made by a fellow reader of this blog: THE JOE PERRY PROJECT‘s two first albums in its Japanese mini-LP remastered edition. It happens that these releases – out of print – have become very, very hard to find. And now you see them both exclusively at 0dayrox.
Let’s go with the second, “I’ve Got The Rock ‘N’ Rolls Again“.
By the time of The Joe Perry Project’s second release “I’ve Got The Rock ‘N’ Rolls Again” original singer Ralph Mormon had been replaced by Charlie Farren (doubling on rhythm guitar), while the rest of the Project remained the same.
Perry still does lead vocals on some tracks, and while he isn’t the best singer in the world, actually I sort of wish Joe would just sing all his own songs. Joe Perry’s vocals remind me of Ace Frehley, another guitar legend, who has that “can’t sing so well / don’t care” vocal style that somehow just works.
This Japanese cardboard sleeve mini-LP replica remastered reissue is a collector’s piece right now.
You gotta listen to the audio quality; it’s really superb…
