EYES (Jeff Scott Soto) – 24U [2-CD Set] Out Of Print
Many of you have been requested Jeff Scott Soto material, particularly the band EYES he was involved with. This American hard rock outfit released two stupendous albums at the beginning of the ’90s that simply didn’t get the attention it so rightly deserved the first time around.
This 2-CD set titled “24U” includes EYES’ two official albums plus unreleased / rare tracks, and it’s a must have in your collection.
Originally formed in the mid-Eighties under the band name L.A. Rocks (several demos were taped) in its first attempt featured Kelly Hansen on lead vocals, guitarist Steve Dougherty (ex- Burning Rome, Berlin), bassist Chuck Wright (ex- Giuffria) and drummer Aldy Damian. Hansen took off for the band Hurricane and Chuck Wright to Quiet Riot and House Of Lords.
Enter new bassist Jimmy O’Shea (ex-Cacophony) and powerhouse vocalist Jeff Scott Soto (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen) and a brand new moniker in EYES, circa 1989.
This is a fantastic band quite unknown for many Jeff Scott Soto fans. Production is brilliant, where the backing vocals are huge emulating Def Leppard’s technique of layered harmonies…
