PAGES – Pages ’78 [Japan remastered AOR CITY 1000 series] Out Of Print

As part of Sony Music Japan campaign titled AOR CITY 1000 featuring a low-priced reissue on classic AOR / AC albums from their back catalog (many of them out of print or hard to find) we have this pre-Mr. Mister Richard Page band PAGES ans its self-titled debut “Pages“, remastered.
Founded in the late Seventies by Richard Page and Steve George on vocals and keyboards supported by various renowned studio musicians, Pages is perhaps best known as the launching pad for the recording careers of both musicians, who later formed Mr. Mister.
The first self-titled Pages album is one of the best examples of soft-rock/pop-fusion made during the era mixed with proto West Coast AOR sound and FM radio accessibility. Lovingly produced by Blood, Sweat & Tears veteran Bobby Colomby, the album has a…

PAGES – Future Street [Japan remastered AOR CITY 1000 series]

Sony Music Japan has started a campaign titled AOR CITY 1000 featuring a Low-priced Reissue on 100 classic AOR / AC albums from their back catalog, many of them out of print or hard to find. This is a limited offer (ending March 2017) with the incredible price around U$S 9 each CD (or 1000 Japanese Yen, hence the name of the campaign).
Among the 100 titles there’s albums by Toto, LeRoux, Balance, Airplay and many other gems, but the interesting ones are the hard to find (or at ridiculous prices) artists / albums such as this pre-Mr. Mister Richard Page band PAGES ans their second effort “Future Street“, remastered

PAGES – Pages 3 [Japanese remaster SHM-CD] Out Of Print

Requested by many here, the last, self-titled album by PAGES in its Japanese remastered edition on SHM-CD is a must have. This was a Limited Release which turned out of print soon. Not to be confused with the ’78 self-titled debut – this ‘Pages’ is their 1981, final album.
“Pages” not only is a superb AOR album, but also the sound of this remastered reissue on SHM-CD is terrific.
Before achieving world-wide success with Mr. Mister, Richard Page founded Pages alongside keyboardist / vocalist Steve George in the late Seventies. The duo released 3 delicious albums, being this last “Pages”, a true representation of pure US AOR / FM music from the early ’80s, a showcase of the best L.A. session musicians on show.
We have here masters like Jay Graydon on guitar, Neil Stubenhaus & Abraham Laboriel…

Mr. MISTER – I Wear The Face [Japan AOR CITY 1000 series] (2016)

As requested by many, here’s the not easy to find reissue of Mr. MISTER‘s LP “I Wear The Face“, in this remastered reissue featuring the original artwork, released as part of the Sony Music Japan campaign titled AOR CITY 1000.
Originally out in 1984, “I Wear The Face” is the first album by Mr. Mister, the band lead by talented Richard Page who turned down the offer to be Toto’s frontman (!)
This first Mr. Mister effort may not be as AORish as their next monster hit album Welcome To The Real World, but it’s a great one in its own right.
