Marc Tanner Band - Temptation (Reissue) (1980/2008)

Better known as the producer behind NELSON’s successful ‘After The Rain’ album than for his own musical accomplishments, Marc Tanner first came to most AOR collectors’ notice with 1979’s ‘No Escape’ album.

‘No Escape’ was recorded with session players Richie Zito and Jay Graydon (guitar), Bob Glaub (bass), William Smith (keyboards) and IRONHORSE’s Mike Baird on drums.

‘Temptation’ was more of a band effort, Tanner assembling a group comprising the aforementioned Zito and Michael Stevens (guitar), Ron Edwards (bass) and Joe Romersa (drums). Richard Page of PAGES and later of MR. MISTER, contributed backing vocals.

The ‘Temptation’ album is most notable for opening with a fine rendition of ARGENT’s ‘Hold Your Head Up’.

During the early 80’s Tanner contributed a track titled ‘Look What You’ve Done To Me’ to the soundtrack album for the movie ‘Heavenly Bodies’ on Epic Records.
