 | | Description: | Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition. Released at the end of 1981, China Girl established Van as a solo artist in his own right, with the hit single 'You've Got A Good Love Coming' entering the Top 100. Finally, the definitive version of the album can be revealed featuring the original album plus 4 unreleased demos on Disc One and an amazing 15 unreleased tracks from the same 1980-81 song-writing period on Disc Two. The songs are all cultivated from Van's unreleased archives and feature songs written by him alone plus other songs co-written with his China Girl writing partners Sam Lorber, Jeff Silbar, Austin Roberts and Dave Robbins. To complete the package, new artwork from French graphic artist Arnaud Leger has been specially commissioned, plus the audio for both discs has been carefully remastered by acclaimed producer JK Northrup."China Girl (Deluxe Edition)" on CD by Van Stephenson, released by Melodic Rock Classic, is a lovingly prepared reissue that celebrates one of the most underrated voices of the 80s AOR and melodic rock scene. This deluxe edition offers a carefully remastered sound that highlights the warm, powerful vocals, melodic guitar lines and hook-laden choruses that defined Stephenson's style. Fans of classic melodic rock will find an album full of radio-friendly songs, memorable refrains and atmospheric mid-tempo tracks that capture the spirit of the era while sounding fresh and dynamic thanks to the renewed audio treatment. The package is aimed both at collectors who want to rediscover this gem and at new listeners who appreciate high-quality, song-oriented rock with strong melodies.

Van Stephenson was an American singer-songwriter and musician who became known in the 80s for his strong sense of melody and his clean, powerful voice in the AOR and melodic rock genre. Beyond his solo work, he was a sought-after songwriter and later a member of the successful country-rock band BlackHawk. His songs and co-writes contributed to radio hits and gained him a lasting reputation as a talented craftsman of catchy, emotional rock and country compositions. "China Girl (Deluxe Edition)" presents him in his prime as a solo artist and shows why his name still holds a special place among connoisseurs of melodic rock. | | | No. of tracks: |
