Hey! First of all... I love this site!! I have a question for You people - is it only possible to get the album Orleans "One Of A Kind" on LP? I would love to have it on cd. Is there a remastered version on cd of that album?

I want to express my gratitude for listing my music. This site is First-Rate, and I'm extremely honored to have my contribution to Westcoast music represented here with the rest of the greats of the genre-- My heartfelt thanks!!-- Daniel Nelson.

I am looking for Johnny Decaro who played with Marty Balin on his BALIN album...can anyone help please...thankyou

Please add Kenny Loggins LEAP OF FAITH it is a classic and one of his best! Also work a look are Peter Allen's Taught By Experts (not on CD yet), I Could Have Been a Sailor and Not the Boy Next Door Carole Bayer Sager's Sometimes Late at Night Lou Rawls' Learn to Love Again (not on CD yet), Mr. Loggins' Celebrate Me Home and Pooh Corner CDS and others I can't think of

Glad to see this great site still surviving and (has it) got bigger? (more albums). Seems like it! This site really will be selling AOR A LOT.. It is in the interest of more people than just people like me or others who come to learn about AOR to keep this site open. I imagine it's very hard work and costs money. I hope to death it dosen't close, but even if it did close what a fantastic job. I must say, as a person who is collecting all classic 80's AOR albums I have found it so good to 'pick up on' what I don't think I will like as much as something else. Of course it is hard to tell instantly hearing samples what you will like and will not, but I can get a good feeling you know. Haha Like it says about the reviews.. Often I come here and then leave like a maniac going from online record resourse to online record resource determind to get my latest record. Thanks a lot. Best Wishes.

Why haven't you posted something on Bruce Roberts' "Cool Fool"? This is a classic westcoast-album which deserves attention. If you need info, just contact me. I have the album.

Martin, I find the reactions to your entitled criticism were very good and hopes this to you courage does to continue your side.

Martin: I don't speak and write english very well. I'am from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Really I don't hear all this records to make a coment. I only know some artist but your site is very good to learn and take information about this kind of artist. I recognize your efforts in all your work and please DON'T LET IT DIE ! (your site of course) THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I cant belive why the Carry on album by Bobby Caldwell isnt on the list! For heavens sake add it to the list at once! That one is surely his best album ever and a true westcoastclassic!

Hi Martin, this is probably the best website all over for this genre! So please don´t give up and keep it alive! I know doing all this needs a lot of time, efforts, passion and expertise - thank you for all that! I´ll be back with my comments! Gerhard F.

It must be the best Partysong ever. Whats he talking about? Hey What are you talking about.....!!!. OK I`ll tell you. The song is with Michael Sembello and the name of the song is.. What you really Want``.

txs for this great webside. if anybody need suggestions or have questions, its great here. martin txs a lot.

Martin, Thankyou for sharing this music with us, Its a superb resource for many, and i will be telling everybody about it.

Hi man ! I would say that youre making a great job ! Very nice site. It would be sad if you take it down.

this is a good site. It's a great idea having a place with samples you can listen to and it has a lot of albums listed under each letter of the alphabet. I have posted several reviews to lps I have and will hopefully post more. I also get a little aggetated at people not saying something about something in life. Whilst (most) people are very busy it is better to say just a little something about how you feel if you own an album or furtherly, to really make an effort with your writing in order to tell people what kind of work it is. A large amount of reviews I read (not neccessarily at this site) read out like. Great aor, top quality musicians, time less melodies'- the end. (I understand a lot don't have excellent english so it must be hard or you might say a bit of a 'sacrifice' to attempt saying the deeper things or even impossible, but sometimes ppl just write like this anyway all over the internet whatever the genre/or movie or whatever they are reviewing). To have samples of an album you own, is a great opening incentive for you to craft a review and hopefully (of course if language provides) one that really says something. I will happily do as many more as possible (though I do not have a huge lot of albums here) and I of course hope the site can stay up. I will also continue to promote AOR in life by constantly directing people to the great sites like blue desert acm jpn, here and more plus just generally talking for it myself/ buying people cds who will otherwise not be able to have a meeting with AOR for whatever reasons. As I get more lp's myself that feature here I will always remember to share my thoughts. I am delighted to say I intend to open a website soon too for AOR (right now it is hard cause I have to look up to all the stunning ones online! and I want mine to be good and furtherly complimentary to the rest when I have the experience). Thanks and happy new year.

Thanks! Found the site today and I'm thrilled. I hope this sit will be able to be up and running for a long long time. You're doing a great job.

Ted Gärdestad's "Blue Virgin Isles"-album maybe released for the first time ever on CD? It's maybe up to You! Hi Guys out there! This is maybe a strange unusual way of research to convince the record company to release a great vinyl LP album (what a nostalgic word!) which has never ever before been released as a CD! But now it's up to You! Send me an email in person and I will pass it further to the record company to convince them! It's about the great late Swedish artist Ted Gärdestad and his great "Blue Virgin Isles"-album from 1978 with vocals in English which features for example his Eurovision Song Contest Entry "Satellit" and lots of other great tracks. It got the following impressing line up of great musicians: Jay Graydon, Lee Ritenour, Steve Lukather, Fred Tackett, John Collins, David Hungate, Ray Brown, Bob Glaub, Jai Winding, James Newton Howard, Dr John, Jeff Porcaro, Jim Keltner, Victor Feldman, Steve Porcaro, John Mayall, Steve Madaio, Jerry Hey, Gary Herbig, Venetta Fields and others and shows Ted Gärdestad at his peak! This complete album has by a strange reason never ever been released as a WHOLE CD, only "almost" if You're one of the lucky owners of the great 4-CD-compilatin-Box with Ted Gärdestad titled "Solregn" where ONE track was missing - The great title track - the ballad "Blue Virgin Isles", later released in Swedish and then titled "Himlen Är Oskyldigt Blå" which was first released 15 years later in the year 1993(!!) and which appears on this mentioned 4-CD-Box. My and the Swedish record company's question is how many of You guys out there would be interested in buying that CD if it would be released as a CD? It's a very great album! (Read more about the album on the Blue Desert web site at wwww.bluedesert.dk under the section "Artists", scroll down to their "Swedish Westcoast section" symbolised with a Swedish flag of course on the letter "S" and scroll down to Ted Gärdestad on the letter "G"!) Just send me a short email to b.soderqvist@telia.com with an answer and Your name and email adress to me and I will pass Your answer to the question further to the record company here in Sweden! Please Pass this message further to all Your music loving friends! Now it's up to us music lovers! Don't loose the grip on this opportunity to get this great album released at last on CD! Take Care out there! Regards, Björn Söderqvist Leavin' the Blue Virgin Isles you had a heart like a childs Rain keeps on fallin´ But when we were young We chased the clouds from the sun Darlin' we fell to the ground just like the leaves when they're brown Rain keeps on fallin' like tears from my eyes leavin' the Blue Virgin Isles...

One of the most important things to keep the west coast music world alive is that people with a big heart for his music do a good job to promote it on the internet.

Hi guys, Jay Graydon's new album - Past to Present - the 70s - will soon be available at CD BABY and while waiting for it to land, you may now read Jay's extended liner notes online on his web site www.jaygraydon.com This 8th album on Jay's own record label Sonic Thrust Records features Jay Graydon on vocals, guitars, bass and some synth stuff; great singers such as Bill Champlin, Marc Jordan, Tata Vega, Lisa DalBello, Ed Whiting and more. On all tracks other musicians include such top names as David Foster, Jeff Porcaro, Mike Baird, David Hungate, Mike Porcaro, Greg Mathieson, to name a few. The album has 20 tracks and this stuff has never been released before. Apart from the main songs, there are a few bonus tracks - fun stuff like TV themes, a jingle, and also 2 instrumental tracks. Jay says... For those of you familiar with the AIRPLAY album, I humbly state you will like this CD. The odds are good another AIRPLAY album will never be recorded, but the good news is this CD is as close as it gets, as some of the songs were demos for the AIRPLAY album, as well as some other demos we considered recording!
