ROXY BLUE – Want Some? [Japan HR/HM 1000 Vol.4 series] (2022) HQ
Universal Music Japan has started this year another campaign of their ‘HR/HM 1000‘ series, that meaning the reissue of long time out of print albums from their Hard Rock / Heavy Metal catalog at the price of 1000 Yen = about 9,5 USD.
As part of the 2022 HR-HM 1000 Vol.4 series there’s ROXY BLUE‘s kicking second 1992’s album ”Want Some?”, for years out of print.
History tells that ROXY BLUE was discovered by WARRANT singer Jani Lane, who helped the guys to get a record deal. Jani did some backing vocals here (as well as the greats Jimi Jamison and Tommy Funderburk) so it’s no surprise that ROXY BLUE sounds a lot like WARRANT or TRIXTER, however the Roxy’s were pretty unique, with a bluesy foundation and a bit of an early VAN HALEN / SKID ROW edge.
“Want Some?” is a killer collection of catchy…
