Survivor - Vital Signs (CD) - CD

Details: Digitally remastered reissue of this 1984 AOR classic. On this album, the band changed vocalists from Dave Bickler (who had left because of vocal problems) to Jimi Jamison. In addition, the band decided to recall veteran producer Ron Nevison (Heart, Led Zeppelin, Bad Company) back into the fold to handle knob twiddling duties. The results were spectacular. Vital Signs blew the roof of the charts, delivering three US top 20 hit singles (The Search Is Over, High on You & I Can't Hold Back) whilst the album itself made #16 on the album charts. It was a spectacular recovery from what had looked like a desperate situation and is now recognized as arguably Survivors finest moment, packed with killer tracks and boasting a superior production. Truly one of the most essential AOR albums of all time.
