SURVIVOR ~ ALL YOUR PRETTY MOVES ~ SURVIVOR SS-313. OUT OF DALLAS, TEXAS FROM 1979 IS THIS PRIVATE PRESSING HARD ROCK LP FROM THIS LOUISIANA BAND. COVER IS A SERIOUS VG++ WITH SOME STRANGE PRODUCTION ARTIFACTS TO THE OPENING SIDE B/C. LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS A BIT SCRUNCHED AND VG+. LABELS AND VINYL ARE NEAR MINT AND THIS BASICALLY LOOKS UN-PLAYED THOUGH THERE IS SOME SLIGHT, INHERENT SMALL PRESS WAX STAINING/TOUCHES TO THE VINYL. SCARCE LP!
HERE'S A GREAT REVIEW BY Eduardo Rivadavia OF THE CD ISSUE TAKEN FROM THE CD UNIVERSE WEBSITE: "The only album by Shreveport, LA, hard rockers Survivor, All Your Pretty Moves is gritty, tough, but still supple and groovy enough to be an unmistakable product of the late '70s -- born before the likes of Journey, Foreigner, and a more famous, "Eye of the Tiger"-toting namesake could dilute hard rock into slicker AOR; and before heavy metal went into a thrash-fueled overdrive that would distance it from roots like those heard here. Vintage rockers such as "So Blind," "Breakout," and "Black Sea" contain harmonizing twin guitars inspired by Thin Lizzy, and high-energy stomps like "The New Order" and "Kristallnacht" recall several Judas Priest anthems of the day, but plagiarizes none of them. All are topped with not altogether powerful but still serviceable vocals from frontman Brian Clark, who's equally at ease feigning Philip Lynott's knowing, conspiratorial tone as he is at approximating Rob Halford's less strident registers. And two more, particularly notable highlights shed additional light on a less explored, but arguably even more effective, softer side of the group's talents. The first, "Deceive Me," is a stunning, slow-building dreamscape that eventually breaks out into a truly epic climax; and the second, closing ballad "Back to the Homeland," unfurls a glorious guitar melody so stirring and laconic, it challenges 1970s six-string wizard Ritchie Blackmore for sheer, supernatural, dark-tinged beauty. That final song alone would justify this reissue's existence, but for those not already desperate enough to replace their super-rare and scratched-up vinyl copies with the 2003 Monster Records CD, there's also a non-album cover of Mott the Hoople's "Rock and Roll Queen" to consider. Simply put, All Your Pretty Moves is a worthwhile addition to the library of any serious classic rock enthusiast." ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
"No, this is not the same band who had at hit song on the "Rocky" soundtrack, this is a reissue of 1979 Louisiana hard rock meets metal classic and collector item with a sound inspired by Thin Lizzy, UFO, Led Zeppelin and Judas Preist. Highlighted by the outstanding guitars of Pat O'Hara and Paul Restovich! This group later evolved into the Christian heavy metal group Philadelphia, who released 2 albums."
TRACKS ARE: 1. The New Order 2. So Blind 3. Breakout 4. Deceive Me 5. Kristallnacht 6. Black Sea 7. Rock N Roll Queen 8. Back to the Homeland
