Follow up to 'Lightning Strikes - Volume One (1982-1983)' comes Tormé's 'The Bernie Tormé Archives Vol 2: 1985-1993'. With all previously released material remastered by Eric Tormey. Although he came to prominence with the hit albums recorded with the band Gillan, followed by a brief tenure with Ozzy Osbourne, Bernie had originally dabbled in the London punk scene of the late 1970s. Before forming Tormé in 1985, eschewing the power trio format of his previous solo records to team up with former Girl vocalist and future LA Gun Phil Lewis on lead vocals plus Chris Heilman on bass and Ian Whitewood on drums, with Bernie's former Gillan band mate Colin Towns guesting on keyboards. Signing to Cherry Red's Zebra Records for 1985's 'Back To Babylon' (CD1), which now comes with the three songs from the 1986 'So You Wanna Be A Star' EP plus bonus tracks. Retaining the same band line-up for 1987's 'Die Pretty, Die Young' (CD2), unfortunately Tormé (the group) didn't last long enough to properly promote the record, as the band imploded shortly after it's release, with singer Phil Lewis relocating to the States to join LA Guns with guitarist Traci Guns, Chris Heilmann joining Shark Island, Ian Whitewood joining Sham 69 and Bernie forming Desperado with Twisted Sister's Dee Snider and Iron Maiden's Clive Burr. Following it's release the band were put on hold, but not before they recorded 'Official Bootleg' (CD3), with Tormé captured live in London during Easter 1987 which now includes 'The Revolution' and 'Arabia' recorded at Brunel, plus the studio version of 'My Baby Love A Vampire'. Reforming Tormé with former Samson vocalist Gary Owen, bassist John Pearce and drummer Chris Jones, 'Demolition Ball' (CDs 4 and 5) was released in 1993. This sterling collection of songs was a perfect vehicle for Bernie's singular and underrated talents as an influential lead guitarist. Eight demos from the album are also included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Around the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Eyes of the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Burning Bridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hardcore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Here I Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Family at War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Front Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Arabia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mystery Train\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e T.V.O.D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kerrap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Guns and Money\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Baby Loves a Vampire (Live at the Marquee)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e New Orleans (Live at the Marquee)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Word Up (Cameo Cover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bo Diddly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Let It Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Real Thing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sex Action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Ways of the East\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Killer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Memphis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Louise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Crimes of Passion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ghost Train\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All Around the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chain Gang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mystery Train\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Let It Rock (Alternate Take)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Crimes of Passion (Live at the Marquee)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Memphis (Live at the Marquee)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Born to Rock (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mystery Train (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Frontline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Turn Out the Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hardcore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Burning Bridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e T.V.O.D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Baby Loves a Vampire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e New Orleans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Guns and Money\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All Around the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mystery Train\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Frontline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Come the Revolution (Live at Brunel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Arabia (Live at Brunel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Baby Love a Vampire (Studio Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fallen Angel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Black Sheep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ball ; Chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Slip Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Long Time Coming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Spinnin' Your Wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Understand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Industry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Draw the Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e U.S. Maid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Let It Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Walk It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Man O'Means\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Monkey Business\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Darlene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Coast to Coast (Band Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Can't Stop the Rain (Band Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Action (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Shoot the DJ (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Coast to Coast (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Snakeskin (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e How Long (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Last Time (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50400771375378,"sku":"5013929930575","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/4341942-3193408.jpg?v=1729117287","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/torme-bernie-torme-archives-vol-2-1985-1993-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
