Missing Years

Missing Years" is a collection of his unreleased demos recorded mainly in early-mid 90's. The opening track "Run Back" co-written with Randy Goodrum, was recorded by a Japanese rock group named SPLASH in 1993 and used as the ending theme of the prime time Japanese TV drama titled "Shinkansen-Monogatari, 93 Natsu" (The Bullet Train Stories 1993 Summer) and thus this song was aired for 12 weeks. And this album contains 3 songs; "Misunderstood", "Forbidden Fruit" and "Nothing Matters Tonight" co-produced by Arnold Lanni. Probably those were written around 1989 or so when David dedicated a song "Tough Times Don't Last" with Jonathan Cain for BAD ENGLISH 's self-titled album. Arnold Lanni is known as a member of Canadian rock group SHERIFF. You might remember their 1989 US#1 hit "When I'm With You" although 6 years had passed since its 1983 original release. And the closing song "I Still Believe" featuring Stan Meisnner on guitar, is relatively hard and many Euro AOR/Melodic Rock fans would love.
