Rendez-vous

This is the 2nd solo album of Eric Tagg released only in Netherlands and never released in any other countries afterwards before 1998.

The hardest to be reissued and longest-waited to be reissued album must have been this "Rendez-vous" album of Eric Tagg (Erik Tagg). This album was called among the cult Japanese AOR fans as "The Green Album".

In December 1998, the green album was reissued on CD with new fascination. I mean that this "Rendez-vous" should be called as "Complete Rendez-vous" as Eric Tagg himself said so to me when I interviewed him in the summer of 1997.
Eric said to us that the excellent unreleased recording materials during the Rendez-vous session were existing and he hoped that this album would be reissued with those unreleased materials on CD as complete Rendez-vous. Yes, the dream had come true. 4 unreleased songs were added to the original 9 songs. Over more than 20 years, this album did not lose its brilliant sound.
