█ EXPORT DEFIED all expectations by signing to the █
█ hugely influential US based Epic Records, whilst █
█ remaining virtually unknown in not only their home █
█ town but also throughout the entire UK. Not that █
█ the deal was undeserved; far from it. Their brand █
█ of melodic yet riff-driven hard rock found the █
█ band being lauded alongside similar, and huge █
█ selling, practitioners of the art such as █
█ Foreigner, Journey and Survivor. █
█ æLiving In The Fear Of The Private EyeÆ, █
█ originally released in 1985, was the bands second █
█ album for the Epic label. Boasting cool song █
█ writing co-credits (including master of the art █
█ Bob Halligan Jnr.), and recorded in Philadelphia █
█ by seasoned producer Lance Quinn (Bon Jovi, Lita █
█ Ford), it presses all the right buttons on the █
█ catchy-yet-rugged melodic rock seismograph. The █
█ music is loud yet completely accessible and chock █
█ full of catchy hooks and expressive vocals █
█ courtesy of seasoned vocalist Harry Shaw. █
█ Despite ExportÆs valiant efforts, Epic Records █
█ dropped the ball, allowing this exceptional slice █
█ of tough-guy AOR to fall flat on its face in a █
█ market that was, actually voracious for product. █
█ Truly, this is one album that should never have █
█ been allowed to slip between the cracks. █
█ Fortunately guitarist Steve Morris would continue █
█ the good fight by going on û by way of a high █
█ profile collaboration with Ian Gillan - to form █
█ underground AOR favourites Heartland and █
█ Shadowman. █
█ █
█ 24-bit remastering from original source tapes, █
█ 4,000 word essay about the making of the album and █
█ a new interview and full band involvement. █
█ Additional photos and memorabilia spread out over █
█ a 12 page full colour booklet. █
