VAMP – The Rich Don’t Rock [2CD remastered Deluxe Edition]
Munich Melodic Hard Rockers VAMP were another sad example for the way the music industry works. Signed by a Atlantic Records they released in 1989 the terrific “The Rich Don’t Rock” album produced by Tony Platt (Foreigner) stuffed to the rafters with arena-ready choruses, hooky guitars and soaring ballsy vocals.
But Vamp were victims of their record label shortsightedness and their album went nowhere commercially.
Vamp started recording their only album in Holland but due executive differences several producers come and left until they finally managed to get Tony Platt whom did a great job obtaining a brilliant and crisp sound. Vamp toured Europe supporting White Lion, Bullet Boys, Bonfire and others but meanwhile the record company didn’t promote “The Rich Don’t Rock” in any way.
