THE LATE ’80s produced a plethora of melodic rock acts from North America – none more special than Diving For Pearls.
Led by supremely talented frontman Danny Malone, this NYC-based five- piece forged one of the finest records of the era (this one) at a time when the likes of Bon Jovi, Winger, White Lion & Whitesnake were receiving platinum trophies as a matter of course.
Fêted by the critics and embraced by American radio programmers, the DFP album made an immediate impact and looked set to take the band to the top of the AOR mountain. However, despite healthy international interest plus sales at home of nearly 250, 000, a series of promotional hiccups and marketing blunders left this David Prater-produced project floundering, forcing the band to abandon any dreams of melodic rock supremacy.
Failed potential aside, the ensuing years have been increasingly kind to DFP, with many revaluating their debut (a Kerrang! Top 20 Album in 1989) as quite possibly one of the most overlooked works of a time when great hooks, savage guitars, enthralling song structures and expressive vocals ruled the world with a rod of (velvet-coated) iron.
24-bit remastering from original source tapes, huge story of Diving For Pearls liner notes, tons of additional photos and memorabilia spread out over a 16 page full colour booklet. First time on CD and featuring 5 bonus tracks!
