Duke Jupiter White Knuckle Ride + the Line of Your Fire

2 GREAT ALBUMS ON 2 CD-S FULLY REMASTERED FULL BOOKLET

White Knuckle Ride

Duke Jupiter's 6th album (1984) was the first album on Morocco Records (Motown's short-lived attempt to develop a rock and roll label). This album got back to the Classy Rock/R&B format and had great FM radio success, two songs on MTV, and an appearance on the Solid Gold TV show. The album was produced by Glen Korotkin, known for his work with Joan Jett & The Blackhearts "I Love Rock'n'Roll" as well as Santana and the Ramones. He effortlessly brings out the qualities of Duke Jupiter which is hard yet has a pop and melodic charm.

The Line of Your Fire

Duke Jupiter's final album (1985) ended up on Motown Records. Morocco Records never got off the ground, and because Duke had a two record deal, this project ended up on the parent label. Motown didn't have any interest in promoting Duke Jupiter, and even if they did, they found that they didn't have the contacts to promote a rock act. It's all good fun, especially when you know that Bob Halligan Jr, the man who transformed ICON (on the 'Night Of The Crime' album) contributed most of the album's most seductive tracks.
