After a couple of years of track searches, back and forths, remastering and schedule juggling, MelodicRock Classics is thrilled to announce the details of the much-anticipated BARLOW/MINTO songwriters demos project. Spanning over 4-Discs, 'Our Restless Nature, The Songs Of Barlow/Minto' covers the dynamic writing relationship Janet Minto and Pam Barlow had over a number of years. They wrote an astounding number of classic AOR friendly songs together, with occasional guest writers joining the fray, names such as Chas Sandford, Jeff Baxter, Jan Buckingham and more. Pam Barlow and Janet Minto met sometime in the middle '70s, having both gotten the call to do some background vocals for Rick Roth, a local songwriter in Marin County, CA. The set is broken into 4 parts - Disc 1 and 2 features AOR Anthems (a male and female disc); Disc 3 is some more acoustic driven and pop flavored numbers and disc 4 is the newly remastered reissue of the Fake I.D. album 'Dreaming Ezekiel', which features the songs of Barlow/Minto with vocalist Gene Miller, who is also featured on Disc 1. As another added bonus, there are 4 never before released alternative-vocal takes, featuring Marcie Free, Rob Tro and Stan Bush. The set comes as 2x complete double CD releases (jewel cases wrapped in a cardboard slipcover), with extensive liner notes and photos spread across both booklets. Vocalists featured include Pam Barton & Janet Minto, Curly Smith, Paul Shortino, Mark Free, Stan Bush, Rob Tro, Gene Miller of course and more. 'Our Restless Nature' will be released as a limited edition 500 unit set.
