PAUL SABU / REMASTER / TERI TIMS

TERI TIMS – Teri Tims [Z Records remastered by Paul Sabu] + 0dayrox extras

Recorded several years ago and initially an indie / self-managed limited release under the titled ‘Whole Lotta Trouble’ – the album by American female singer TERI TIMS was finally out on Z Records some years ago. This remastered reissue was delayed, changed its working title twice, and at the end they opted for simply leave it self-titled; “Teri Tims“.
“Teri Tims” is being reissued by Z Records because of her husband; Paul Sabu, who already made a partnership with the label some time ago to manage his catalog.
Well, OK, Teri is Sabu’s wife… but she can sing? Oh yes she can. And very well.
Many of these songs appeared decades ago via an obscure German label release under the title ‘Teri Tims – Whole Lotta Trouble’. But now Paul Sabu (who produces, co-writes and play on the record) decided to re-arrange / re-master the whole thing, discard some songs, add new ones, and give it a proper packaging. So, many of the tracks here were recorded several years ago.
Teri has the pipes, without a doubt, with a vocal colour that can be described as a combination of Robin Beck, Alannah Myles and Debbie Davis (of cult AOR band Witness), and I might add that she has got the looks to match too…

Released by Perris Records, “Whatever It Takes” is the debut album from CORPORATE CONTROL, an American-German collaboration between multi-instrumentalist Marcus Boeltz and AOR heavyweight Paul Sabu, joined by bassist Barry Sparks (Yngwie Malmsteen, Scorpions, Dokken).
Formed in 2019 the idea behind ”Whatever It Takes” was to produce a fresh and modern sounding classic melodic hard rock / AOR album that also features instruments untypical for the genre such as Sitar, Madolin and Cello.
Co-produced by Boeltz & Sabu who also handles all vocals, there’s unmistakable ’80s elements all over, bringing to mind SILENT RAGE, KANE ROBERTS, and of course, PAUL SABU solo. But as said, Boeltz adds a special touch on the arrangements and some instrumentation…

PAUL SABU – Hard Rock Zombies [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]

One of the most revered cult classic B-movies from the ’80s is without a doubt “Hard Rock Zombies“, which soundtrack written, performed and produced by PAUL SABU remained unreleased for many years.

ONLY CHILD / PAUL SABU / REMASTER / REMASTER ROCK CANDY

ONLY CHILD – Only Child +4 [Rock Candy Remastered] (2020) *EXCLUSIVE*

Rock Cany has just released their remastered version of Paul Sabu’s ’80s band ONLY CHILD, its self-titled debut “Only Child” including 4 bonus tracks.
Paul’s previous (solo) album, the awesome ‘Heartbreak’, was a valiant attempt to raise awareness of his talent, but with limited promotion it failed to connect with the wider public.
Three years later, recognizing that fans wanted nothing more than to be swept up in the emotion of a vertiginous chorus, written in the image of a Desmond Child or a Jack Ponti, Sabu put together his magnum opus, Only Child.
Sabu had learned his lessons the hard way. Popular acclaim was the target. And that remastering job makes the gutsy urgency of of ‘Just Ask’ and ‘I Wanna Touch’ sound dynamic, clear and pin sharp, later mainlining us into the adrenaline rush of ‘I Believe In You’, and ‘Save A Place in Yourt Heart’, unwrapping both songs’ full potential.
It was career highpoint that still resonates today as one of the best AOR albums from the 80s.
