Lou Gramm - Questions and Answers: The Atlantic Anthology 1987-1989[3CD Box Set] (2021) [CD Rip]

Three CD collection containing the solo releases from the former Foreigner frontman. Perhaps choosing to return to a simpler rock format, Lou Gramm released his debut solo album, Ready Or Not, in 1987. Produced by Pat Moran with Lou Gramm, it featured the hits 'Midnight Blue' and 'Ready Or Not' among a collection of songs that wouldn't have sounded out of place on a Foreigner record. Lou released his second solo album Long Hard Look in 1989. Capitalizing on the success of his debut, it was produced by Peter Wolf. Long Hard Look built on the foundations set by Lou's debut. 'Just Between You And Me' was another huge smash, making No.6 in the U.S. Hot 100, followed by the single 'True Blue Love'. Although only recording two solo albums for Atlantic, a third disc gathers together some of his Atlantic-era rarities, including two versions of 'Lost In The Shadows (The Lost Boys)' from the soundtrack. 'Ready Or Not' is represented by a "Rock Remix", an "Extended Dance Remix" and an "Instrumental Remix". Hit single 'Midnight Blue' was issued in various formats, including a very collectible transparent blue 12 inch single, which featured an "Extended Remix" of the track. A single edit of 'True Blue Love' has been selected from "Long Hard Look". To promote Lou's 1987 debut, Atlantic Records released the very rare and highly collectible LP, "Questions And Answers", a promotional album distributed to radio stations featuring Lou interviewed by Dan Neer as he discusses the genesis of the "Ready Or Not" record, and his career to date, in 1987.
