Better Late Than Never

The 1992 reissued CD version of "All Dressed Up" had been one of the hardest to get CDs before the day when the 2006 (reissued CD by Vivid Sound in Japan) became available. The 2006 reissued CD sold well, far more than expectation. This made David start to feel very confident that it would be the time to restart his own musical career as an artist to know the fact that many AOR / West Coast fans has been expecting his brand-new album. The first recording session of this album was done in the Summer of 2007 in Los Angels with Greg Mathieson as the producer, who was the one producing "All Dressed Up" in 1982! David recorded 5 songs including self-cover version of "Before I Go" originally recorded by STARSHIP for their smash hit album "Knees In The Hoopla" (1986) and a song titled "Stay With Me", unreleased material recorded by John Waite (ex Babys) in early 90's. The rest half of the album was done in Nashville in March 2008, with Fred Mollin as the producer, best-known for America's 1980's album "Alibi" and/or Jimmy Webb's 1996 album "Ten Easy Pieces".
