Bryan Adams Introduction
|
Bryan Adams
is now a highly collectible artist, being internationally recognized as
one of the biggest names in popular music. His solo career was launched
with the 1979 release of the much sought after Let Me Take You Dancing.
Previously he was vocalist in a band called "Sweeney Todd" and
singles, notably Roxy Roller, featuring Bryan on lead vocals also command
high prices. Visit the official Bryan Adams Home Page for biography information.
| Bryan's material is
released and collected all over the World. Many of the rarest items
originate from Japan or Australia. His records sell well in the
UK, where many recent releases feature 2 CD singles, with different
sleeves and B sides. Bryan has not escaped the bootleggers either.
Listed on these pages are many examples of "unofficial"
CD recordings of live performances.
And before you ask, no I don't know
where you can get these from - they are listed here purely because
they do exist, even if they are illegal to make and sell, and many
people collect them. Also note that many bootlegs with different
titles contain material from the same source. |

There are also a fair share of "promotional
only" items listed. On some, rare live performances can be found, often
not available on any commercial releases. Sometimes the items are identical
to the commercial release with just the words "for promotional use
only" printed on them. Bryan's "promos" are more common in
the US than elsewhere in the World. UK, European &, more recently, Mexican
promos are produced in smaller quantities and therefore often command much
higher prices than their US counterparts or standard "stock" releases.
Japanese "Let Him Know"

In August 1998, A&M records shut down it's UK branch of the
label. It was expected that Bryan's future UK releases would be
on the Mercury label, which generally speaking they have, albeit
maintaining a smaller A&M logo.
