| Stan Bush & Barrage 'S/T' CANDY104 / Stan Bush had it all. A good look, great vocals and a knack for writing clean, concise and punchy pop rock songs that, on a good day, could rival the likes of Rick Springfield and Bryan Adams. Making the AOR scene in the early 80s, Stan's cachè was high, with many an impartial observer naming him as one to watch. Indeed, his debut solo album garnered healthy critical acclaim, even if it did not have the sales to match the hype. In 1987 Stan signed to the Scotti Brothers label but this time under the handle of Stan Bush & Barrage, a ruse designed, just like Bon Jovi, to toughen up his image and present a sharper, band identity to the record buying public. Produced by veteran Richie Wise and utilising a number of key session players (dubbed Barrage) including members of Black Rose, John Parr's Band, Foreigner and Rick Springfield's band, the music was superbly executed hook laden melodic rock sitting atop raunchy guitar work and big beefy drum 'n bass. It is also an album notable for including 'The Touch', a track that was included in the soundtrack to the hit movie 'Transformers', helping it to become a melodic staple recognised the world over. Hailed as one of the best AOR albums of the era, Stan Bush & Barrage is a triumphant statement of intent and one that should have resulted in multiplatinum glory. Special Limited Deluxe Collector's Edition, fully Remastered Sound shaped from 24 BIT digital technology, 12 page full colour booklet, 3,000 word essay, enhanced artwork, memorabilia, rare photos and full involvement from Stan Bush.
