One of the hardest-to-get CD's must be David Roberts' "All Dressed Up". This masterpiece of 1982 was once reissued on CD in 1991 only in Japan. Because of many back orders, Warner Japan reportedly tried to re-reissue this album again in late 1990's and early 2000's. However, it was not achieved due to various reasons. Thus, the album has been acutioned and taken bid by high-roller bidders. However, this sad situation will be changed very soon. "ALL DRESSED UP" will be available on July 26, 2006 again on CD by Japanese label named VIVID SOUNDS. And this time, the artwork will be LP vinyl type paper sleeve jacket style. As widely known, this album was produced by Greg Mathieson and Jay Graydon seated on the position of Executive Producer. And many first-call musicians including Porcaro borthers, Steve Lukather, Bill Champlin and David Foster. David wrote all songs of this album including "Anywhere You Run To" which was covered by Diana Ross later. This album became one of the legendary album among Westcoast / AOR music lovers since then. In spite of our high expectation, we could not have his 2nd solo album since then. In 2003, we could find David Roberts back with Tommy Denander on Frédéric Slama's project album "AOR / Dreaming of L.A".
I am very pleased to let you inform of this great news. Last not but least, I would like to express my personal sincere gratitude to David Roberts himself to make this reissue project possible!
