New Dream
One of the most requested CD which were unreleased must had been Boy Meets Girl's never-released 3rd album titled "New Dream". The album should have released in 1991.However, this was never officially released anywhere in the world due to a changing of the guard at the top management of the RCA/BMG. Only very limited number of promotinal copy seemed to be distributed in the music industry.
Shannon Rubicam wrote on their official website:- "With one week to go before the album's release, and mere days away from filming what would have been the video for the single, New Dream, we were, needless to say, stunned. Honestly, it just blew the wind right out of our sails to come to such a sudden halt after two years of writing, recording and preparing to promote the CD. But such are the vicissitudes of the music business, and it happens to someone every day although we hadn't imagined it happening to us."
Shanon explaind that George Merrill cajoled their old record company, RCA/BMG, into reissuing the best-selling “Reel Life” and the never released stateside "New Dream" in 2004 at last.
