Damien released cheesy covers of both "Rock On" and "Time of the Season" in the '90s, at the height of his "Young & the Restless" fame! (Which I only know because of a video mix tape I had in college which included a newscast about Damien getting attacked by a stalker at a concert-- some things stick in your brain!)
well ear’d: “producer Roy Thomas Baker, known for his work with Queen and The Cars. Musically, the 1980 album was a drastic change of style for Cooper, leaning towards a new wave influence.”
APB is the b-side of the a-side John McLaughlin (!) remix

"Back in My Arms" by "Peter Dayton"

re Peter Dayton: just picked-up a mint minus “love at first sight” 4-song ep 1981 (produced by Ric Ocasek, perhaps still original vinyl only?!). Fun pop stuff. Thanks😊 = thoroughly enjoying the show 👏🥳👏
