1994 - Please Stand By

Facts Digitally re-mastered edition of this 1979 sophomore album by the melodic rockers fronted by Karen Lawrence. 1994 were one, in a long list, of those great North American Hard Rock bands that time and fame overlooked. Geoff Barton, then writing for Sounds magazine, and now Editor at Large of Classic Rock, made no secret of his love for 1994's music and the charms of Karen Lawrence, going so far as to acclaim them as a veritable cracker box of explosive guitar based rock topped off by a stellar performance from one of the best (female) vocalists of the era; a deadly yet cool combination of Heart and Aerosmith. Please Stand By, produced by Eddie Leonetti and Jack Douglas, was lavished with fervent praise, attracting rave reviews both at home and abroad.
