SHY – The Lost 1984-1986 Songs (0dayrox Vault compilation)

After many requests, here’s the quite rare, collector’s material from England’s AOR / melodic hard rockers SHY. We have here the demos SHY recorded between 1984-86, including many songs that never made into disc, or morphed into other titles with different arrangements / lyrics.
These tapes were released by Shy’s drummer Alan Kelly in one way or another, but our files are from a different source, and if you ask, ours are in much better quality sound.
Of course, these are demos, but enough to enjoy the incredible vocals of Tony Mills (RIP)

REMASTER / REMASTER ROCK CANDY / SHY / TONY MILLS

SHY – Excess All Areas [Rock Candy remaster +4] (2019) *EXCLUSIVE*

One of the greatest Melodic Hard Rock / AOR albums of all time just has been ‘Remastered & Reloaded‘ by Rock Candy Records; SHY “Excess All Areas” including 4 bonus tracks.
Before undertaking their all-important third album, 1987’s “Excess All Areas”, RCA relocated Shy to Los Angeles to soak up the Californian melodic hard rock radio vibe. Songwriting session started soon and the recording label secured the services of – omnipresent in most great ’80s records – talented Neil Kernon to produce.
The result was an awesome blend of American flavored AOR played in a British melodic hard fashion, and one of my top 50 Best Of albums of All Time.

SIAM (TONY MILLS) ‎- The Language Of Menace [Limited Edition 2-CD / 11 Unreleased Tracks]

As you may know, extraordinary vocalist TONY MILLS passed away this week, and we’re remembering him here with his own band SIAM, and the very rare, collectors edition of their first album “The Language Of Menace [Limited Edition 2-CD / 11 Unreleased Tracks]”. This special release features the album as it was originally intended with extra tracks, a different track list & some different mixes, plus a bonus disc including previously unreleased versions of the album’s tracks and ‘an exclusive advance track from the new Siam album’ as it says on the cover sticker, but never included and exclusive to this 2-CD pack.

REMASTER / REMASTER ROCK CANDY / SHY / TONY MILLS

SHY – Brave The Storm [Rock Candy remaster +6] (2019) *EXCLUSIVE*

A much needed remaster of SHY‘s “Brave The Storm” just has been released by Rock Candy specialists including 6 bonus tracks, the British act major label debut which, without a doubt, should have been a real breakout LP for the band.
SHY was a latecomer to the NWOBHM scene, and like many groups like Tobruk and Heavy Pettin’, they straddled the line between metal and arena rock. Featuring powerhouse vocalist Tony Mills, for this “Brave The Storm” released in 1985 they hitched themselves to the American AOR bandwagon, produced by Tony Platt (Cheap Trick, Foreigner).
