Amore is a very rare LP made in 1983, their first on an independent record company, and the first 8 songs is from that LP. It has only existed in vinyl format until now. And this version really sound great. The sound quality is excellent.

The first 4 bonus tracks is the pre-Amore singles. These are the original releases of "Fightin' On The Same Side" and "All You Zombies" (live A-side), which aren't identical with the "Amore" recordings. The b-sides "Wireless" and "Rescue Me" are only released on these singles which only came out locally in Philadelphia back in '81 and '82.

After this section I have added early demos. Note that the tracks #18-20 are from a radio broadcast with Eric Bazilian talking about each song first. Two of these songs are identical to the other demos but I included them one more time because of Eric's talking about them. "Man In The Street" is an instrumental demo from 1980, in fact their very first demo session ever at the original Umbria Ranch in Manayunk, USA. This is the track that WMMR played relentlessly after Michael Tearson did his Gorilla Theater takeover, and really started the ball rolling for the Hooters. "Love & Indecision" is a demo from 1982 written and sung by John Kuzma who later left the band. Maybe that was also the reason why they didn't release it because it is really a good song. "Concubine" is also a 1982 demo version as well as "Hangin' On A Heartbeat". "Scared By Science" was recorded for Amore but left off the album. The "Christmas Message" from 1983 was their first Screamer Of The Week and is is a very early hip-hop song really! Quite interesting. This is a must for all true Hooters fans. Excellent remastered sound. Available on 1 CD-R.
