Germany based label PRIDE & JOY MUSIC kicks off its new “Pride & Joy Music Classixx” releases today with the release of Vol.1 and Vol.2!

All releases from this series will be limited – Vol 1. & 2 with 500 CD copies each – and be exclusively available through the label’s online store (shop.prideandjoy.de) which sucessfully has merged with the service of AOR Heaven’s store in December last year and now permanently offers 200+ AOR/ Melodic Rock & Hard Rock CD highlights and exclusive imports!

Vol 1: Deacon Street Project – One + Two (2-CD), re-mastered by Tommy Denander (Radioactive), new artwork, 2 bonus tracks
Vol 2: Rainmaker – Rainmaker (CD), re-mastered by Tommy Denander, new artwork

Vol. 3, 4 & 5 are already in the making and will be released until the end of this year!

The self-titled album of the Swedish Melodic Rock formation RAINMAKER was originally released in the year 2000 on an English genre label. Long out of print, Pride & Joy Music is now re-releasing this strong work of the formation around mastermind and guitarist Tommy Denander (Radioactive, Sayit, Alice Cooper, Deacon Street Project and many more) and singer Geir Rönning (Sayit) with new artwork and remastered by Tommy Denander as part of its new series “Pride & Joy Music Classixx”. The line-up of RAINMAKER was completed by bassist Tony Franklin (The Firm, Blue Murder and many more) and Walter Diego on drums. Unfortunately, “Rainmaker” remained at that time with one album of this talented formation.

The CD is exclusively available directly through Pride & Joy Music and is limited to 500 copies.

DEACON STREET PROJECT was an AOR focused project led by Swedish musician, song-writer and producer Tommy Denander. The project has released 2 genre classics during the 00’s, i.e. „Deacon Street Project“ (AOR Heaven, 2004) and „Deacon Street II“ (MTM Music, 2006).
Both albums today are sought after, hard to get releases which now are re-issued as double CD set via Pride & Joy Music under the name of „Deacon Street – One + Two“. Both albums were remastered by Tommy Denander, cover and artwork were newly created and both releases include 1 bonus track each!
This re-issue is limited on 500 copies only and will be available exclusively via Pride & Joy Music directly via shop.prideandjoy.de while stock will last!
Deacon Street „One + Two“ is Vol.1 in the new Pride & Joy Music Classixx series.
