DESCRIPTION
Four CD set containing the hard rock bands three early '80s albums for Atlantic and a host of rarities and live tracks. Featuring Dutch guitarist and songwriter Adrian Vandenberg from whom the band took their name after forming as Teaser in 1981. With lead vocalist Bert Heerink, bassist Dick Kemper, and drummer Jos Zoomer, the band struck a worldwide deal with Atlantic via their imprint ATCO. Recorded at Jimmy Page's Sol Studios in the UK, their eponymous debut album featured the power ballad 'Burning Heart', which made an impressive dent on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts in 1983. The band became a big concert draw, with major tours supporting Ozzy Osbourne and KISS before releasing 1983's Heading For A Storm which featured the singles 'Friday Night', 'Waiting For The Night' and 'Different Worlds'. Alibi followed in '85 before Adrian Vandenberg joined Whitesnake for the remainder of the 1980s. The fourth CD in this extensive set collects together officially released rarities, including demos plus both mono and stereo edits for the 'Burning Heart' single, and 'Once In A Lifetime' (Special Mix). The set concludes with the live tracks 'Ready For You', 'Lost In A City', 'Friday Night' and 'Welcome To The Club' (both recorded in Japan), 'Roll Through The Night' (Live in the USA) and 'Too Late' along with a 2004 Unplugged version of 'Burning Heart'.
