Airrace - Live & Demos (1985)

AIRRACE supported both DEF LEPPARD and TED NUGENT in Britain before signing to Atco records. AIRRACE released a melodic rock album in 1984 which provoked more interest due to the appearance of Jason Bonham (son of LED ZEPPELIN's John Bonham) than it did for song content. Although the album was produced by Beau Hill, noted for his contemporary work with American melodic rock acts, AIRRACE's effort fell far short of its competitors.
The band supported AC/DC, QUEEN, MEAT LOAF and during 1984. However, AIRRACE split shortly after the album release with Sadler and Murrell teaming up with ex-members of LIONHEART to form a new version of this act in August 1985. Murrell, who held down a day job as backing singer for CLIFF RICHARD, also auditioned unsuccessfully for both MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP and FOREIGNER. The singer would also be in the frame to join Scott Gorham's 21 GUNS at one stage.
