Bommer

1ST AVENUE - TEARS AND THRIUMPH! FANTASTIC Dutch melodic rock cd, released on the INDISC label, back in 1992. 1st Avenue was the former band of Robby Valentine, but at the time of release of their first album and single he already left the band. Featuring the singles “Heaven In Your Arms” and “Once In A Million Years” (two excellent ballads), the album oozed quality with great vocals and huge keyboards.

Follow-up volumes appeared in 1993 and 1996, extending the time period to 1979 and with additional songs from the 1972-76 period, available on cassette or CD (ALL 25 volumes were issued in both formats). Each volume has twelve songs. Despite the greater capacity of compact discs, the running time of each of the volumes is no longer than the limit of vinyl records in the 1970s, from 38 to 45 minutes long.
