BLACK 'N BLUE - Rarities (2011)

In 2007, Crash Music released BLACK 'N BLUE "Rarities", a collection of rare demos, live cuts and previously unreleased songs from the band's back catalogue.
Out of print, now it has been re-issued by Goomba Music.

"Rarities" is a good collection of rare songs of Black 'N Blue, showing how they sounded before stardom, and on the second half, how the new 2011 album songs were conceived.
It's a nice package, with good quality sound and remastering. Essential for fans but also a pleasant listen to any American melodic hard rock enthusiast.
