1. Paul & Andrew, I am so sorry you were taken advantaged of by Record Labels.! Sadly your story is shared by many in history and I hope those producers and agents are comfortably resting the other side of hell! Born in 1962 I suffered thru and developed a magnetic draw to the 80's and fell in love with your music. God Bless and thanks for being pivotal in my upbringing.
