The Tubes / Tubes World Tour 2001
San Francisco Rock Band "Tubes" changed their music more pop and commercial in their Capitol Records era. In 1981, they released an album "Completion Backwards Principle" featuring smash hits "Talk to You Later" and "Don't Want to Wait Anymore". Top 10 hit song "She's a Beauty" pushed their 1983 album "Outside/Inside" into the Top 20 Albums chart. After releasing "Love Bomb" in 1986, the Tubes disbanded. In 1993, the Tubes reunited and released the album "Genius of America" in 1996. In 2000, the Tubes embarked on extensive tour, issuing the greatest-hits-live album "Tubes World Tour 2001" captured recorded live at The Galaxy Theater, Santa Ana, Ca. 22 January, 2000, plus 2 new studio recording songs.

Phil Perry / One Heart One Love
Phil Perry started his musical journey in East St. Louis with a sweet soul vocal group the Montclairs in 1969, disbanded in 1975. Perry moved to California in 1979 with former Montclair Kevin Sanlin, recording as a duo “Perry & Sanlin” that released two albums on Capitol Records in 1980 and 1981. After the duo dissolved, Phil began writing and developing his reputation as a background singer. Among AOR / Westcoast music lovers including me, probably Phil Perry was surely recognised when he performed live with Lee Ritenour in mid 1980’s, His live performance with Lee Ritenour at Concord Pavillion, California On June 29, was captured on Laser Disc, that was really phenomenal; Perry’s lead vocal versions “Sunset Drivers”, “Mr. Briefcase” and “Is It You?” were so powerful. Further, we, Japanese were knocked out by Perry with Tim Feehan when they performed live in Tokyo, Japan with David Foster and Lee Ritenour in 1986. Perry’s lead vocal track “If I'm Dreamin' (Don't Wake Me)" was featured on Lee Ritenour’s 1986 “Earth Run” album. Perry also contributed to the Ritenour’s album “Portrait” in 1987, and “Color Rit” in 1989. Another remark as regards Perry in late 1980’s must be on the Japanese Animation Soundtrack album “Riding Bean” in 1989, produced by David Garfield, on which Perry took lead vocals with Andrea Robinson, backed by first call LA musicians such as Michael Landau, Carlos Vega, Jimmy Johnson and many others. In 1991, Perry finally started his solo career with the album "The Heart Of The Man" on Capitol Records. In 1995, he released his second solo album "Pure Pleasure" on GRP Records. So, this is his third solo album, critically acclaimed collection of romantic meditations. Release Date: 10 February, 1998 Label: Private Music, USA (01005-82163-2) Tracks: 1. I'm Sorry 2.

Air Supply / The Book Of Love
Air Supply had huge success in 1980 when they released their debut album “Lost In Love” on Arista, selling two million copies of the album led by the hit singles "Lost in Love," "All Out of Love," and "Every Woman in the World." However, their golden years did not last so long. After unsuccessful commercial sales of the 1986 album “Hearts in Motion”, the band broke up. Three years later, Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell, the two lead singers reunited and started to record new materials, thus the album “Earth Is...” was released, then did “ Vanishing Race” in 1993, “News From Nowhere” followed in 1995. However, those albums failed to make the charts in USA, whilst they were popular in Southeast Asian countries. Air Supply delivered their fourteenth studio album in the end of 1997. The album was a serious attempt for the band to penetrate the US charts, mainly focusing on mature adult contemporary songs and actually the album featured plenty of good melodies I thought then. Though the album didn't have any chart entries, the singles "So Much Love" and "When I Say" have gained critical acclaim in USA, although in Asia the single "Strong Strong Wind" was a big hit. Release: 9 December, 1997 (Japan: 17 December, 1997) Label: Giant Records, USA (9 24695-2) / Arista Records, Japan (BVCG-704) Tracks: 1. The Book Of Love 2. Strong, Strong Wind* 3. So Much Love 4.
