Special Limited Deluxe Collector s Edition / Fully Remastered Sound shaped from 24 BIT digital tech-nology/ 7 Bonus Tracks/ Classic Canadian AOR/ 16 page full colour booklet 4,000 word essay, en-hanced artwork, memorabilia, rare photos and involvement from the band.At The time of release, it s fair to say that Sheriff was dismissed by music critics as yet another melodic Canadian hard rock band deploying the kind of AOR that could be heard anywhere, anytime. One of a long list of similar sounding acts such as Loverboy, Streetheart and Coney Hatch. But then, completely out of the blue, some seven years later, something rather unexpected happened... Initially issued in 1982, Sheriff s debut album failed to ignite the public s consciousness.
Sure, it was a fine record with all the accoutrements expected of such work but the bands appeal was severely dented by inadequate promotion and a crowded market place. Amazingly, in 1989 free thinking DJ's started spinning the power Ballad When I m With You , a song that quickly gained momentum at virtually every radio station resulting in a US #1 hit single. This was a unique and totally overwhelming event and one that made everyone reassess the Sheriff album in an entirely new light.
Pompous and grandiose, Sheriff s style is perfectly in alignment with all the great AOR bands of the early 80s, offering up huge hooks, ripping guitar work and killer keyboard arrangements. The icing on the cake, however, is Freddy Curci s amazing vocals, a man blessed with a range that evokes the greatest work of Freddie Mercury and Steve Perry. Hear it at all costs.

There's some AOR I like, and then there's...Sheriff. I mean, look at the cover! Now wonder we used to laugh at this when we were in high school.
However, some regard this album as an AOR classic, so here I post. "When I'm With You" is total cheese, but it is also one of the great stories of the 80's how it was a minor hit in 1982 and then, inexplicably became a #1 smash in 1989.
I'm sure this will be a treat for some AOR lovers-just not me!

My wife has this album from her 80's days but since I've known her she's never played it ... and I've always been a little bit afraid to.

Have they overlapped this with a photo of Frankie Goes To Hollywood for the guy on the left?
