Bio:

Rising out of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene in the late '70s, Grand Prix featured a more melodic approach to heavy metal than most of the bands on the British scene, generating an AOR sound closer in feel to American rock groups like Journey. Original members of Grand Prix included ex-Dirty Tricks drummer Andy Beirne, bassist Ralph Hood, keyboardist Phil Lanzon, guitarist Michael O'Donoghue, and ex-Legend singer Bernie Shaw, who was eventually replaced by singer Robin McAuley. The group signed to RCA and released a debut album, simply called Grand Prix, in 1980, followed by the more focused There for None to See in 1982, after which the group jumped to Chrysalis Records for the polished Samurai in 1983. Beirne left Grand Prix later that same year, reportedly because he felt the group's studio output wasn't hard-enough sounding. His drum chair was filled by Clive Edwards, but by early 1984 the group was out of gas and closed the door on a roughly three-year run as a band, leaving behind a small but solid discography.

Album:

To complete their discography, here's GRAND PRIX second album for RCA "There For None To See", originally poorly distributed / promoted due to legal troubles. Unknown by many, here's the remastered reissue.Commonly praised for their 3rd, close to perfection melodic rock / AOR final album 'Samurai', Grand Prix's second effort "There For None To See" is often ignored in everyone's favorite lists, however it's a brilliant one too.Robin McAuley (later to achieve international fame with Michael Schenker) replaced original vocalist Bernie Shaw, and for the second album the band was focused to a more instant, appealing commercial sound."There For None To See" was a pivotal link between their early attempts at Pompy AOR in the self-titled debut, and the glossy production design of 3rd LP Samurai, being for many Grand Prix's most complete album.And indeed it's a superb Melodic Hard Rock / AOR disc plenty of memorable songs, in fact, I can't find a filler here. All are great.Just to name a few; opener "Heaven And Hell" and its awesome chorus and synths, the terrific pomp-infused "Troubador", the tinkling "Runaway" or the splendid Americanized AOR in "Take A Chance".The wonderful "Keep On Believing" is the British answer to Journey while the atmospheric ballad "Paradise" is nothing short than perfect.As said, the received zero promotion, and it didn't saw the light of day on CD after many years. This remastered release includes as bonus track another great song to treasure; "Life On The Line", originally appeared as B-side in the Keep On Believing single."There For None To See" is a class '80s record deserving a place into any serious AOR / Melodic Hard Rock collection.
