Episode Description from the Publisher

When classic 80s bands lose the rights to their original master recordings, they usually run straight to the studio to re-record their biggest hits. But what happens when the new versions sound completely unmitigated, flat-out terrible? We listen to Loverboy’s re-recorded tracks side-by-side with the originals, and the drop in quality is mind-blowing. From shot vocal cords to completely lifeless guitar playing, why are bands putting out garbage like this, and does anyone actually buy these things?DON’T MISS OUT ON GETTING LOVERBOY’S ROCK N’ ROLL REVIVAL HERE: https://amzn.to/46SDzVnWatch commercial free and without delayed publishing by becoming a CMS VIP at https://classicmetalshow.locals.comAll comments are merely the opinions of the people speaking them, are for comical performance, and are in no way stated as factual.
