SHAKE YOUR SOUL (ROCK CANDY)
Fully remastered, 16 page full colour booklet - 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork with previously unseen photos and new band interview.
Originally formed in Louisiana, under the moniker of Meridian, during the mid-80s, the main core of the band, guitarist Lance Bullen and vocalist Kelly Keeling, opted to move to Los Angeles in 1987 where the scene was ripe for aiding and abetting young bands.
They would not be disappointed and found a manager who hooked them up with seasoned producers David Foster and Mike Clink who helped them record a set of impressive demos.
The band's appearances on the LA club circuit soon attracted record company attention, eventually signing with Atlantic and being taken under the wing of label founder Ahmet Ertigun.
'Shake Your Soul' was produced by Bon Jovi alumni Jack Ponti in New Jersey, and issued in 1990 to positive reactions.
