The track \"Love You Out Of Your Mind\" was all I needed to hear. I knew it was going to be rare, but had no idea it was \u003cem\u003eTHAT\u003c\/em\u003e rare. Perhaps the \u003cstrong\u003eB\u0026amp;B\u003c\/strong\u003e sound didn't really make much of an impression stateside (despite the group being from the U.S.) as the record was originally released only on the Japanese \u003cstrong\u003eClimax\u003c\/strong\u003e label in 1981. In Japan, the record has reached cult status, fetching $100's when it ever surfaces. Fast forward over 3 decades and France's Favorite label has brought their unique brand of jazzy AOR fusion back to the surface with the first official vinyl repress. From the label: \"In 1981, \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Byrne\u003c\/strong\u003e followed up to his 1979 album, \u003cem\u003eBlame It On The Night\u003c\/em\u003e, by teaming-up with multi-instrumentalist \u003cstrong\u003eBrendan Barnes\u003c\/strong\u003e to record this rare West Coast classic. If they never recorded any other music together, both display incredible music career and went on to produce for many famous artists such as \u003cstrong\u003ePointer Sisters\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePatti Austin\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?q=earth+wind+fire\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"EWF\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEarth Wind \u0026amp; Fire\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?q=phil+collins\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"phil collins\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhil Collins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBrian McKnight\u003c\/strong\u003e, or \u003cstrong\u003eBoyz II Men\u003c\/strong\u003e to name just a few. \u003cem\u003eAn Eye For An Eye\u003c\/em\u003e features amazing and sophisticated songs, and parades all the elements of the AOR style: a jazzy sometimes fusion approach, with modern soul and groove flavors. If it's almost unknown in Byrne \u0026amp; Barnes' country of origins and in most part of the world, it's become hugely popular and sought-after in Japan and for all West Coast music lovers. After \u003cstrong\u003eCharles Maurice\u003c\/strong\u003e recently selected the song \"Love You Out Of Your Mind\" in the \u003cem\u003eAOR Global Sounds 1975-1983 Vol.2\u003c\/em\u003e compilation, it quickly felt obvious for Favorite Recordings to arrange a proper reissue of the full album. Fully restored and remastered with great attention to sound quality.\" Almost worth it just for that cover art of an alien dry humping a girl's nose. What?!
