The Lost UK Jewels Vol.25 ; STRATEGY – Secrets (2022) *Exclusive*
After several months of discussions with the band and researches of the original material, finally another volume from the stupendous ‘Lost UK Jewels‘ series is here in exclusive: Scottish melodic rock / AOR combo STRATEGY, and all the material the group recorded between 1987-1990.
The album is titled “Lost UK Jewels Vol.25: Secrets” and contains 10 tracks that the band recorded in the 1987-1991 time frame. This is quite special, as early songs feature male vocals, while latter stuff is female-fronted.
“Secrets” features three different singers, Ray Wilson (1987), Richard Malcomson (1988-1989) and Yvonne Morrison (1990).
References to their music go from FM, Heartland and Strangeways (1987-1989) to Saraya, Heart and Robin Beck (1990). All the tracks have been remastered from the band’s master tapes and sound great. Quite how they never got signed will be eternally one of life’s great mysteries.
This is a must listen for fans of primo ’80 British AOR – quality songs and quality recording / production.
