As you can hear in the YouTube video below, the quality of this rip is a bit rough. I don’t know if it was the recording of the original tape, degradation over time, or the quality of the equipment used. Or all of the above. Just the way it is sometimes with these older tapes. Note that there is a musical channel tag at the beginning of the video that is not the tape itself. Not sure why that was needed. The sound here is slick commercial metal/AOR sound that was dominating in the late 80s/early 90s. Andy also has a shorter demo called I’ll Find My Way, but I don’t know if that was before or after this one. He is most known as the original lead singer for Angelica. He recorded demos with Angelica, but wasn’t able to record on the debut Angelica album in 1989. This demo sounds close to Angelica in style (although a bit less metal), so it probably gives an idea of what could have been.
