Billy Thorpe may not have made much of an impact in the UK but in Australia he is a veritable legend, having carved out a highly successful career since the late sixties in a seminal and raucous hard rocking band called the Aztecs. By the 1970's he'd outgrown his home grown popularity and moved to Los Angeles, recording a gold selling album helmed by producer Spencer Proffer, titled 'Children Of The Sun', that established him in the USA as a rising star. 'East Of Eden's Gate', a record that allowed Billy to fully blossom by crafting a magnificent opus that actually owes as much to Pink Floyd as it does to Ted Nugent. Originally issued in 1982, the album is a stunning example of melodic hard rock, with a panoramic, almost cinematic, lustre that has dated not a jot. With musical support, including guitarist Earl Slick (David Bowie) and drummer Frankie Banalli (Quiet Riot) the album is loaded with wide-screen triumphant epics such as 'Dogs Of War', 'Edge Of Madness' and the title track itself.
