Description
Third album by American guitarist/vocalist Paul Sabu (KIDD GLOVE, ONLY CHILD). Paul would hook up with ex-BONFIRE members Joerg Deisinger and Angel Schlieffer in 1995 to form a proposed new band. However, as it transpired the new project took on the SABU title. The resulting product, seeing Derek Smith on drums, was considerably heavier than earlier Sabu material, taking on a harder sound and with Paul Sabu’s voice remarkably rougher in approach.

“Californian born Paul Sabu was a welcome guest at many a writing and recording session of other artists. Among the people he’s written, recorded, or performed with, or whom he procuced albums for, such luminaries as Lee Aaron, DavidBowie,Alice Cooper, Elvira, LittleAmerica, LittleCaesar, Madonna, Malice, RobbieNeville, SilentRage, TatooRodeo, TheMotels, TheNelsons, TeriTims, ShaniaTwain, JohnWaite and Wasp (notice how I’ve ranked ’em alphabetically, to refrain from catagorisation by so-called -and subjective- importance) can be counted. He also has a lot of movie and tv series soundtrack credits, among which are Accused, American Drive-In, Assault Of The Killer Bimbos, Baywatch, Beverly Hill 90210, Diving In, Ghost Town, Goulies II, Hard Rock Zombies, Meatballs 4, Million Dollar Mystery, Sex And The City, To Die For, Trick Or Treat, Twin Sitters, Vice Versa, and many more.It has to be said, Paul started his recording career at only 19. Having only picked up a guitar at age 15, he was however sneaking into any local clubs and bars that would let him sit in or plug in his guitar! His own musical vehicles  were Sabu and Only Child, bands with which he recorded albums that were described as big sounding, with lots of depth, fat keyboards, blistering guitars, and vocals combined with a great chorus. No small wonder that he was the darling of several Melodic Rock magazines, who dubbed him L.A. Session King and AOR hero! His albums are still much sought-after items among AOR lovers, and his reputation as an AOR hero still holds today. For example, in Kerrang’s poll of November 14 th, 2005…Paul Sabu holds 2 of the greatest AOR albums of all times! Up until then, Paul had always relied on outside engineers, mixers, and producers to bring out the best of his music, but they had never given him the sound he really wanted. So, with the afterthought of, I’m sure I can’t do worse than they do!, he did everything himself…which started his career as a recording and mixing engineer, and as a producer”. Burn Magazine
