title: Face The Truth
text: Editorial Reviews Digitally remastered edition. Features 12 page full color booklet with 4,000 word essay, enhanced artwork, memorabilia, rare photos and new interviews. The shock of John Norum's departure from Europe was a disappointment somewhat tempered by the release of his debut solo album, a work of real purpose and commitment to a heavy sound and style that suggested his tenure in Europe was not as musically harmonious as originally thought. Norum, it seems was somewhat aggrieved that too much pop was being woven into Europe's sound and that the original intention of a hard rockin' unit in the manner of Deep Purple and Rainbow had been sidelined. It was a fair conclusion and one that sparked a well-received solo career. John's second solo album titled Face The Truth was a match made in heaven, with Norum and Hughes providing a number of high energy yet melodic hard rock tracks that stand proud as musical highlights in an era that was slowly succumbing to the emergence of grunge. Originally issued in 1992, and recorded in Los Angeles, the album boasts a number of stunning tracks, including 'Still The Night' a re-recording of a Hughes/Thrall song originally released on the much praised Phenomena concept album. Also included is 'Opium Trail' a tribute to Norum's enduring love for Thin Lizzy, and a well-received co-write with Joey Tempest titled 'We Will Be Strong'.

title: Another Destination
text: Editorial Reviews Digitally remastered edition. Features 12 page full color booklet with 4,000 word essay, enhanced artwork, memorabilia, rare photos and new interviews. The former lead guitarist for Europe, John Norum's career had blossomed since his departure in 1986. With two well received solo albums under his belt, he set about recording his next album in Los Angeles using a template very much cast by a solid commitment to heavy, yet melodic hard rock embellished with soaring lead guitar and world-class vocals. Another Destination, originally issued in 1995, was recorded in his adopted home of Los Angeles, and benefits hugely by the presence of vocalist Kelly Keeling, a classic gravel-throated blues based frontman who was previously a member of Baton Rouge. Elsewhere the material is impressive and fully-formed, indicating that John's original decision to leave Europe was well-founded and it also paved the way for him to rejoin his former compatriots in 2003, when their sound was re-engineered, reflecting their original harder rock.

title: Total Control
text: Editorial Reviews Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Includes six bonus tracks. Features 12 page full color booklet with 4,000 word essay, enhanced artwork, memorabilia, rare photos and new interviews. Recruiting a new backing band of long-time musical friends (including Marcel Jacob, a former Europe member, on bass) and continuing his relationship with Swedish executives at the Sony label he redefined his ambitions away from the lighter pop rock path of Europe. This time the around the music was harder, heavier and full of serious conviction, allowing John to unleash full on guitar work, woven within leaner and meaner songs. Whilst his soloing had always been impressive, this time around the playing was simply out of this world. Center stage on three tracks was vocalist Goran Edman whose forceful and melodic voice is delightfully mature, lending the material a world-class sheen. Indeed, Norum's own voice was just as impressive. Songs such as 'Let Me Love You', the Whitesnake-influenced 'Blind' and 'Someone Else Here', set an impressive standard. Oh, and look out for the choice cover of the Vinnie Vincent penned 'Back On The Streets' Editorial Reviews Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Includes six bonus tracks.

title: Playyard Blues
text: Editorial Reviews Long-awaited 2010 studio album from Europe guitarist John Norum. Play Yard Blues is Norum's seventh solo release, featuring seven original tracks and three covers, including Thin Lizzy's 'It's Only Money', Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush's 'Ditch Queen' and Mountain's 'Travellin' in the Dark'. The album sees Norum take his guitar playing in a new direction. While his trademark sound and distinctive style remains, the new recordings embody a bluesy Rock vibe and much more soulful approach. Both mixed and produced by Norum, Play Yard Blues was recorded in Norum's home town of Stockholm alongside Peer Stappe (who play percussion on the album). Norum's long-standing Europe band mate Mic Michaeli appears on the album, playing keyboards on several tracks. Editorial Reviews Long-awaited 2010 studio album from Europe guitarist John Norum.
