URGENT – Thinking Out Loud [AOR Heaven Classix remaster] HQ
Many of you asked for the recent Japanese reissue of URGENT‘s album ‘Thinking Out Loud’ as part of the HR/HM series. But the source isn’t remastered, and none beats this AOR Heaven Classix release.
Not to be confused with the Canadian band of the same name, USA melodic rockers URGENT released two very good albums halfway the ’80s: ‘Cast The First Stone’ in 1984 and “Thinking Out Loud” in 1987.
“Thinking Out Loud” got its first re-release / remaster via the AOR Heaven Classix series, a limited edition quite hard to find now.
URGENT was built around the three brothers Michael, Don and Steve Kehr, but also featured guitarist Yul Vasquez who later joined cult melodic rockers DIVING FOR PEARLS.
After the excellent debut, theg guys wanted a gutsier sound according to times (1987) and it was Vasquez who came up with the name of Tom Allom, known from his work for bands like Judas Priest, Krokus, Loverboy, Rough Cutt and Y&T.
