Synopsis
Product Description Talk about a career arc John Hall went from being founder of the band Orleans to becoming an environmental activist to being elected as Congressman for the 17th district in New York in 2008! In between all those milestones, he also fronted his own band during the early 80s, who recorded a couple of albums for EMI which have never been reissued on CD in the States and have been high atop collector wish lists ever since (that song Crazy (Keep on Falling) is a particular fave). Here are both records, exclusively yours via Collectors Choice Music and American Beat |
CD ReviewsJohn Hall - A blast from the past Thomas A. Mercer | Lewes, De | 01/30/2010 (4 out of 5 stars) "This item was packaged with 2 cd's (The John Hall Band 1981 release and Search Party). The John Hall Band release is electric with 2 songs anchoring the release (Crazy and Earth out Tonight). I only wanted The John Hall Band CD but this was the packaging available. Crazy was not available on cd until a month ago (Dec 2009). Search party was a bit of a disappointment but Crazy is an Album I had back in the early 80's now finally available on cd. Brought back great memories listening to this CD. If you are a fan from the Orleans era, you will love these cd's as they are timeless. ~tom mercer Lewes, De." Finally on cd! Erik Raaijmakers | Amsterdam, Netherlands | 01/08/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "After all these years finally on cd! Especially All of the above, but also Search party is pretty interesting. More heavy than his work with Orleans, but the quality remains!" Awesome songs William E. Bulpett | North Port Florida | 04/14/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "The "All the above" album is an 80's album, that was played, alot..especially the song "Crazy" (Keep on falling)on the local radio stations, in the Boston, MA area, never got to see them then, but just recently purchased, thier album.
Who knew then, that John Hall, would later become a U.S. Congressmen. ?? Scratchrd, my head, a few times on that one... Enjoy." |
