JOHN WAITE - Ignition (1982)

Collector's Edition Remastered & Reloaded 2006


Needless to describe Waite's popularity in the AOR community, as member of the greats THE BABYS, Solo, and the supergroup BAD ENGLISH.

His first solo (maybe the less listened and one of his best, upbeat, hard rocking albums) was released in 1982.
Produced by Neil Geraldo (PAT BENATAR's guitarist, producer, mastermind, husband and who knows what else), with hard edged (even if extremely processed) guitars (yeah, TIM PIERCE!), tight rhythm section and commercial mainstream rock '80s style, this recording still sounds fresh and organic today.

To further improve the quality of these songs, this remastered version (a 'real' one) is awesome.
Recommended.
