LE ROUX Up - 2012 UK remastered CD reissue of classic 1980s Pomp Rock album
Format: CD Condition: New Year of Release: 2012 Cat. No.: CANDY125 Label: Rock Candy
Formed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Le Roux had previously cut two albums in a rural rock style before switching allegiance to their firebrand version of melodic pomp rock.
Produced by feted session musician Jai Winding (Jackson Browne, Boz Scaggs), the 'Up' album exploded out of the starting gate to huge approval by those that took notice. Although sales may have been somewhat limited, their influence was persuasive and powerful, especially in Europe where 'Up' was hailed as a masterpiece by a number of connoisseurs of the genre.
Stuffed to the brim with astonishing tracks including ‘Let Me Be Your Fantasy’, ‘Get It Right The First Time’, ‘Mystery’ and the truly impressive ‘Roll Away The Stone’, the album oozes both class and control, delivering maximum melody at every available opportunity. The sound is big, bold and crystal clear propelling the contents to the stars and beyond.
24-bit remastering from original source tapes, 3,500 word essay about the making of the album, band involvement and additional photos spread out over a 12 page full colour booklet.
