The rock band Wrabit formed in Canada in the late '70s. Members included lead singer Lou Nadeau, keyboardist Les Paulhus, guitarists David Alpin and John Albani, drummers Scott Jefferson Steck and Gary Craigh, and bassist Chris Brockway.

A sophomore offering, Tracks, followed a year later. In 1981, Wrough & Wready was completed. One more album popped up in 1983, West Side Kid.

Album:
Universal Music Japan has started this year another campaign of their ‘HR/HM 1000‘ series, that meaning the reissue of long time out of print albums from their Hard Rock / Heavy Metal catalog at the price of 1000 Yen = about 9,5 USD.As part of the 2022 HR/HM 1000 Vol.4 series, as requested, we have here the Canadian melodic rockers WRABIT 1982’s album “Tracks“. To put it simple, this is one of the greatest AOR albums coming out from Canada in the first half of the ’80s. If you ask me, “Tracks” is a masterpiece for the genre.This Japanese reissue is of special interest because “Tracks” has been near impossible to get on CD for decades. There was a horrible Renaissance Records reissue some years ago, but now finally we can enjoy this superb album in all its glory.The HR-HM 1000 Vol.4 series pressing uses exactly the same mastering from the original Japanese edition with today’s precise transfer, and the sound quality is excellent.
