New York quintet’s 1982 AOR set, no bonuses, though

Preview

Led by brothers Danny and Ernie Gold (guitars and keyboards respectively), plus fine singer Jon Fiore, Preview crafted several light AOR numbers that would please fans of Mike & The Mechanics (see album opener All Night). The big harmonies come into play on Foreigner-lite efforts, including Open Your Heart, before the Bryan Adams-esque pop-rock of So Blind and the Cars-like Never Hold Back. Elsewhere, it’s a mix of balladry, the cod-reggae beat of Can’t Stop The Feeling and the stabbing keys and syn-drums of Love Finds A Way, making for a very 80s period piece.
