Promised Love

LaBounty first album was opened by “Lie To Me”, self-remake version was later included on his second solo album “This Night Won’t Last Forever”. And “Crazy”, “I Hope You'll Be Very Unhappy Without Me” and “Open Your Eyes” were also self-remade on the second. It seems to be those four songs on both albums are using same basic tracks. However, it must be interesting for you if you will compare both versions to find out how LaBounty would remake on the second album. Speaking of CD reissue, it could not be achieved until 2017, despite that Warner Music France successfully released
4 CDs Box Set “Time Starts Now - the Definitive Box Set Anthology” in 2011 which featured several tracks from the first album.
With Bill LaBounty and also Jay Senter, the producer of the album, the first albumCD reissue was planned in 2010’s by Japanese label, but due to certain copyright issue, it was not materialised then. Hence, the Big Pink edition licensed from Captain Crystal Music was supposedly reissued without using original master tapes, thus someone pointed out the dynamic range was not good enough.
