Description
Special Deluxe Collector's Edition / Fully remastered sound shaped from 24 bit digital technology / Contains 'Can't Live Without You', 'Isn't That The Way' & 'Time' / 12 page full colour booklet 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork and band involvement. Some artists may not have reached the huge sales figures of many superstar acts but their influence was significant on the fan base that they did acquire. Zebra were one such act. A three piece power trio, they were a band that, although selling reasonably well, never quite reached the summit of their commercial potential but attracted a hugely committed following, based solely on the quality of their output... and it is a sound that still has power and presence today. Signed to Atlantic Records, the band's first album was actually the fastest selling debut in the label's long and impressive history. Their second album No Tellin' Lies failed to capitalise on this unexpected good fortune, but the quality of material was just as impressive. With the obliquely titled third record (a reference to how long it had taken to record it!) the band took stock and pledged to make the best record of their career. 3.V is actually an incredible creation. Melodic yet forceful, it moves them firmly away from their Led Zeppelin roots to a unique world, focussing on their brilliant arrangements and great songs. It also moved the band in a far more progressive rock style attracting comparisons to Rush but with their own melodic sensibility. The musicianship is phenomenal and leader Randy Jackson's vocals are wonderfully expressive, demonstrating an extraordinary range. Truly, it is one of the best hitherto underexposed rock albums of the 1980s.

Tracklist
1. Can't Live Without
2. He's Making You The Fool
3. Time
4. Your Mind's Open
5. Better Not Call
6. You'll Never Know
7. About To Make The Time
8. You're Only Losing Your Heart
9. Hard Living Without You
10. Isn't That The Way

I have this on a 2-fer with No Tellin' Lies. It was released on One Way Records (sub of Atlantic and now out of print). The sound is great. Anyway, 3.V is a great disc. IMO, it was better than their debut.

Now all we need is for the live to be released at RC.

Agreed Mark.

When I interviewed Randy Jackson for my book he told me he felt this was their best record, but he said it got lost in all the developing Hair Metal in 1986.

I've never owned it on CD and I was waiting for this one from Rock Candy.

Zebra Live is supposedly next.

I'm in for this, especially since Rock Candy is doing it.

What book are you referring to here? I'd love to read an in-depth piece on Zebra!

Btw got this and just saw Zebra live in Staten Island a few Saturdays ago, they still have it.

And now good news for ZEBRA fans out West, they are doing a mini tour. Wish I could see them in LA.
