Lead man Jamie St James then went onto a few other projects as Black N Blue went on to have their albums re-released in Japan, only to disappear again - much to the annoyance of the fans who hadn't got them yet. Hopefully they will see the light of day again. In the meantime, here is something for die hard fans to keep themselves amused with. This CD is a collection of unreleased demo's from the band's early beginnings and first years. This is one of those releases A collection of rarities for the fans of the band. This stuff dates back to the very early 80's and covers the band's inception and first recordings. BOTTOM LINE: This is a fan only affair, with it primarily appealing to the more hard core fans thatn the casual observers. The songs have dated a little - no problem there, as they are nearly 20 years old - but that combined with the demo sound quality do religate the release to die-hards only.
