ERIC MARTIN – Over Japan [2xCD Japanese only release]

As requested, here’s the Japan-only release ”Over Japan”, from Mr. Big’s vocalist ERIC MARTIN, recorded over a tour the singer did in Japan as solo artist, including the late Mr. Big Pat Torpey (RIP) into the line-up.
Over the track list Martin revisits songs from his early solo career like ‘Sucker For A Pretty Face’, and Mr. Big classic such as Alive And Kickin’, Ain’t Seen Love Like That, Take Cover, etc.
Many of these songs never were heard this way, and I love it.
