STREET TALK albums for re-issue!

MelodicRock Records is excited to announce a partnership with Swedish AOR favourites STREET TALK for a limited reissue of the band’s best three albums. On August 30 and limited to just 500 units each, MRR will reissue the STREET TALK albums ‘Transition’ (from 2000); ‘Restoration’ (from 2002) and the AOR classic ‘V’ (from 2006). The new MRR reissues will feature exclusive ALL NEW artwork and each album designed by Carl-Andre at BLEKKMARK Design Studios and revealed now:
STREET TALK is the brainchild of Swedish keyboardist/songwriter FREDRIK BERGH. Their debut came in 1997 with the album ‘Collaboration’. The album featured, amongst others, guest vocalist Göran Edman who would continue to work with Fredrik throughout the Street Talk history. In 2000, the album ‘Transition’ was released featuring Goran again on a set of smooth Westcoast/AOR tunes. In 2002 STREET TALK signed to the now defunct MTM Music label for the excellent album ‘Restoration’. The opus featured vocals from Goran once again and also two popular tracks from American AOR vocalist HUGO. In 2006 the band released their fourth all-original studio album – the distinctly more powerful, pure AOR masterpiece ‘V’. Featuring Goran Edman on all vocals, the album was the defining moment of Street Talk’s history. Since the release of ‘V’ in 2006, STREET TALK has been on hiatus, but Fredrik has been as busy as ever as a founding member of melodic metal band Bloodbound as well as writing and working with such artists as Revolution Saints, Steve Augeri, Steve Overland, Joe Lynn Turner, Rob Moratti, Harry Hess, Bob Halligan jr, Phenomena, Seven and Anette Olzon
