COVER IN M- TO MINT CONDITION.
Very good London band who remind me of a mixture of US band Synch and, understandably, early FM. This is a rare 4 track vinyl ep, and was produced by Procul Harum keyboarder Mathew Fisher. Matt Haslett was ex Snowblind.
Peroux - Summertime Memories (AOR 1988)
PEROUX were a British band trying to etch out a career in the wimpwire / melodic hard rock scene during the late 80s.
Promoted and recommended by Shy (Tony Mills band), along with the likes of After Hours, Briar, Midnight Blue, Moritz, etc, were among a bunch of bands hovering in the 2nd division without getting the big break.
From London, the band no doubt saw the success of other British exports all signed to major labels at the time, as Virginia Wolf, FM or Shy itself.
A crime, because "Wheels Keep Turnin´" is a great mini LP.
Talking about FM, Perouxs style / sound is a mixture of them with some American AOR rock acts.
"Midnight Princess" is an extremely melodic semi-midtempo where the guitars are noticeably down in the mix to give more room to the harmonies. This is a great tune with all the '80s atmosphere.
Just love the title track "Wheels Keep Turnin´". This is the kind of keyboard-driven AOR I die for. Killer pre-chorus (awesome) and dreamy main chorus on this one. The guitar/keys middle-section instrumentation is simply wonderful.
Last track "Susannah" is definitely Americanized, in sound and style, reminding you great US bands of the mid eighties.
"Wheels Keep Turnin´" is a beautiful 4-track mini-LP from a band who deserved better luck.
Keyboards are really predominant on this recording, not strange because it is produced by Procul Harum keyboarder Mathew Fisher, and one of the founder members Matt Haslett used to play ivory on another UK group; Snowblind.
Really good one.

Break down of P&P costs:
1) Postage
2) packaging
3) Money to go to the post office and return from the post office.(Sometimes, this actually costs more than postage).
Therefore: dispatching an item costs more than what the postage label indicates. Please keep that in mind.
Also keep in mind that when a seller has to deciding the P&P price, he (or she) doesn't know exactly how heavy the package will be and where potential byers are located. If the buyer is from a nearby country, the P&P might look "expensive". If the buyer is from a faraway country, it might look "cheap". Bottom line is: please don't complain about the P&P price at any stage (especially NOT when you leave your feedback for the item that you bought), as I am trying to guess what price to charge for P&P and it is impossible to get it "exactly right". If you are a Scrooge and feel like arguing, or creating a problem for tinny amounts of money, just don't buy from me. I don't want to complicate things and I don't like Scrooges.
