DANN HUFF / RARE ALBUMS / RICHARD MARX

RICHARD MARX – Sundown (2008) [Rare CD version 2019] *HQ Exclusive*

As requested, here’s the hard to find RICHARD MARX album ”Sundown“, initially only available as a download from Marx’s official site, and later available as physical disc but only from Marx’s official site. This CD was never released as a commercial product. While ”Sundown” has been made available again as digital download on major retailers since a couple years ago, this CD has become a collector’s piece.
Produced by the unique Dann Huff – who also play guitar, of course – the album features Richard originals like the very good “Can’t Stop Crying” mixed with covers done in the ‘Marx style’, such as “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”, “Wild Horses” and “And I Love Her”, originally sung with Jessica Andrews and Vince Gill, respectively.
Among the session musicians there’s Michael Landau, Michael Thompson, Bruce Gaitsch on guitars, Greg Bissonette on drums, C.J. Vanston on synths, and many other renowned cats…

RARE ALBUMS / RICHARD MARX

RICHARD MARX – Rush Street +1 [Japan promo CD for radio stations]

We have featured here the best sounding CD press of RICHARD MARX first two albums, and one of you asked for his third, “Rush Street“. This record never has been remastered, and doesn’t needs to as it sounds fantastic.
This rare Japanese pressed disc was distributed for promotional use only. It has the same packaging (even the OBI), but the sonic output is different than the regular release.
Indeed, this promo version of “Rush Street” sounds fabulous. Destined for radio broadcast, the Dinamic Range is better and the output punchy. We have paired this one with the regular release, and there’s a difference.
It truly feels like a late ’90s remastering job, those that fix the early CD era ‘flat transfer to digital’ but avoid the brickwall of many current remasters.
Of course, the brilliant production design of “Rush Street” helps a lot. Yes, “Rush Street” is just another – and one the greatest – of those 1990-92 major label US productions, with a glossy, pristine and huge sound.

RICHARD MARX – Songwriter (2022)

RICHARD MARX, who scored with three #1 singles in the late ’80s (“Hold On To the Nights,” “Satisfied,” and “Right Here Waiting”), will release his new full length album next Sept. 30, 2022. Properly titled “Songwriter“, as Marx has written/co-written countless songs for others, this time offers a multi-genre release including no less than 20 songs (!) and features collaborations with such fellow songwriters as Richard Page, Burt Bacharach, Chris Daughtry, Keith Urban, David Hodges of Evanescence, as well as two of Marx’s sons, Lucas and Jesse, among others.
The LP will cover four different styles of music; pop, rock, country and ballads — “I’ve had such an amazing opportunity in my songwriting career to write all kinds of songs with, and for, all kinds of artists,” Marx said. “It finally occurred to me that there was no reason not to record an album of my own that touches on multiple genres I love.”
