V.A. - Heard It On The Radio Vol. 5 (2011)

*

At the end of the '90s, the now defunct Renaissance label edited a wonderful series of CD's entitled 'Heard It On The Radio'.
These series (3 volumes) included lost '80s AOR / Melodic Rock songs that once ruled the airwaves. But not only well known songs, also rather obscure bands only known by collectors, but truly marvelous.

Now, an indie label is taking the flag, publishing two new volumes.
Some of these tracks are from albums finally released on CD nowadays, but many not, and probably that never happens.

Vol.4 is really good, but "Volume 5" is even better, featuring rare songs from Hotel, The Night, Private Lightning, Lindisfarne among others.
So we have here a fantastic collection of '80s tunes, from an era when melody was the essential motto in music.
A Must Have for any Classic AOR / Melodic Rock fan.
