OK. Where to start.............
I guess I can say that if it wasn't for NR I probably wouldn't be
listening to music as much as I do today. I first heard them back in ' 87 when
I saw the movie Secret Of My Success. As soon as the movie finished I went
to the record store and bought the single. I loved the b-side even more
(the song was Carry On). A couple of weeks later an acquaintance at work was
listening to a tape at work and the band sounded very familiar. I asked
him who they were and he told me NR. I knew I had to get the album so I
went and ordered Big Life. The only other album that was available was
Midnight Madness so I immediately ordered it. Two months later I walked
into an import record store and stumbled onto Dawn Patrol and didn't
hesitate to fork out $25 U.S for it (I say import because I live in
Australia). No other record store had ever heard of them so I asked what
else was available. I had 7 Wishes in my hands three weeks later. Still
starving for more NR, I had to wait over a year for Man In Motion. It
was worth the wait but I was disappointed FITZ had quit the band.
