Export Living In The Fear Of The Private Eye

2010, formed by guitarist/song writer Steve Morris and featured vocalist Harry Shaw, previously a member of highly touted early seventies rockers Hard Stuff, and were championed by - and signed to - Deep Purples boutique label Purple Records. Following the release of a now highly collectable independently released album, Export were spotted and championed by sixties chart topper Dave Dee, who honed and shaped them in the form of tough yet melodic UK hard rock success stories such as Foreigner and Bad Company. Early demos were cut with none other than future Yes guitarist Trevor Rabin. Amazingly, the bands strident brand of melodic hard rock caught the ear of Epic Records in New York, resulting in the first of two albums for the label. Contraband showcases a superb collection of sophisticated melodic hard rock from the hands of gifted song writers and first rate players. Re-issue and first time on CD with extended booklet and new mastering.
