Another ’80s little gem screaming for a proper remaster was without a doubt “Young, Wild And Free”, the full length debut by Canadian rockers BRIGHTON ROCK. I said was, because the band just released “Young, Wild And Free 30th Anniversary”, remastered by no-other than talented Harry Hess, frontman of Harem Scarem. Brighton Rock are still alive & kickin’ 2016 with...
And here’s another request: the rare, out of print, collectors numbered Limited Edition remastered Japanese release of BRYAN ADAMS blockbuster album “Reckless”, pressed on high quality SHM-CD. This version is of particular interest ‘cos include as bonus track the B-side “Diana”, retired from distribution by Adams himself, not available into any other reissue / compilation, and in my opinion, one...
Alongside the recently posted ALICE COOPER remasters, it was requested some time ago as well “The Last Temptation” from the Cherry Red / Hear No Evil same remastered reissue series, now out of print and very hard to find.

One of the most rocking and underrated albums from the glorious 1989 year has been remastered in its 30th anniversary: “In Your Face”, by SHOUT. Do you like Whitesnake’s ‘American’ era circa ‘Slip Of The Tongue’? Then you need to check out this killer disc now. If one wants a high quality Eighties melodic hard rock band with needed elements...
There’s always something slightly disingenuous about the term ‘comeback album’ – especially when an artist has never really left. Such was the case with ALICE COOPER’s 1989 Epic Records release “Trash”. But one certainly sees why the expression would be used to describe “Trash”. Alice Cooper’s eighteenth studio release “Trash” became his first Top 20 album in the U.S. since...
Finally arrived from Japan my favorite JOE SATRIANI albums from the Legacy Recordings reissue series 2016, remastered and manufactured with the high quality Blu-specCD2 technology. Considered by many his finest opus, the fantastic “The Extremist” is one of Satriani’s most focused albums ever infested with high quality songs and serves as a benchmark in Joe’s career. “The Extremist” is a...
Finally arrived from Japan my favorite JOE SATRIANI albums from the Legacy Recordings reissue series 2016, remastered and manufactured with the high quality Blu-specCD2 technology. As you may know, Blu-specCD2 format is Sony’s answer to SHM-CD, taking Blu-Ray technology to create CD’s Phase Transition Mastering via blue laser diode cutting (using a different polycarbonate plastic) resulting in a superb sound....
Finally arrived from Japan my favorite JOE SATRIANI albums from the Legacy Recordings reissue series 2016, remastered and manufactured with the high quality Blu-specCD2 technology. “Flying In A Blue Dream” is a very special Joe Satriani where he sings straight-out hard rockers combined with splendid instrumentals. “Flying In A Blue Dream” is by far the most versatile Joe Satriani yet....

Requested long time ago, finally we get hold a copy on the excellent Bad Reputation Records remastered CD reissue of JUNKYARD‘s “Sixes, Sevens & Nines” including 8 exclusive bonus tracks, some of them previously unreleased. This Junkyard‘s 1991 sophomore release is head and shoulders above the band’s self-titled debut, benefited from a punchy Ed Stasium production & mix that captures...
Today – August 10, 2019 – is the 30th year anniversary of the release of WHITE LION‘s classic album “Big Game”, and we’re celebrating it at 0dayrox with the ‘Remastered & Reloaded‘ reissue by Rock Candy Records, the best sounding version you can find of this great LP including 3 bonus tracks. For me, “Big Game” is the band’s peak...
Both ’80s albums by Japanese / American vocalist STEFFANIE Borges has been remastered 2019. Steffanie’s music style was clearly US oriented, a blend of commercial hard rock & AOR with English lyrics and American musicians involved. “Hideaway” Steffanie’s first Eighties album, with the likes of Richie Zito, Brock Walsh and Joey Carbone song contributions, plus JK Northrup (King Kobra) co-writing...
