I ordered all 3 and got free shipping

Good news! I don't have these. I have heard some of their songs but honestly don't remember any so I'll have to watch some videos to see if I want to order but I probably will.

I had just asked about the chances of Walking in Faith getting done..lol..how's that for service?

The first album, Angelica s/t, has Rob Rock on vocals.

I also like them after he left.

I found out abut this yesterday. I have the original versions of Angelica debut and Walkin in Faith. I will likely get these and the demos. There is a story as to why Andy Lyons sang on the demos and not on the final version of the debut where they got Rob Rock as a replacement:



Here are the personal thoughts of Dennis Cameron about "Angelica":


At this point, (as humbling as it is to say) we were in need of a singer to salvage the (what was now being refered to as the Dennis Cameron) project. We now needed to find someone to finish out the album. Ken had suggested two replacements, Bob Carlisle or Rob Rock.  Having once been a proud owner and fan of the Driver album (Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Aldridge, Tony MacAlpine and Rob Rock) Rob was the easy pick of the two to best suite the music style.  At the time of recording, Rob was in the process of regrouping a new version of Driver and was rehearsing and recording with them as well as doing the session work for Angelica.  What a trooper he was! I can remember Rob coming to the sessions with this big red swollen throat saying that he had just come from Driver rehearsals and that he was pumped and ready.  Not withholding, Rob would assume his best Iron Maiden pose in the vocal booth and trek on with our sessions. 

Rob's voice was in a higher range than Andy's, which meant that some of the vocal melodies had to be reworked to fit his voice. For example, the original version of "Shine On Me" melody started on a major 3rd, but was transposed to the 5th for Rob.  We finished the album a couple of weeks late due to all the mayhem and I returned home (Ontario, Canada) wondering how I was going to continue with this band under these circumstances." 

Awesome story!

Thanks for sharing, Soldier777

I would also like to add that former bass player Robert Pallen and Dennis Cameron are from Ontario, Canada. I'm from Eastern Canada. Angelica is partly a Canadian band.

I like them with Rob best, only like some songs after but this is cool. Always glad to classic bands reissued.

I already had the other CDs, but those demo recordings I gotta hear!

Just ordered.  I ordered the Tamplin bundle as well.

The "demo" album?  Isn't that the same song list (with a couple of slight variations) from the debut with Rob Rock except with Andy singing them?

Remember Jerome Mazza on the Walking In Faith album? This is him with Steve Walsh of Kansas.

Song list and details are available on the Girder page (see the link in the first post)

I can't wait to get these. I sold the original Intense Records pressing of the debut and Walkin in Faith and each only has a 4 panel insert. The new reissues will be like the Shout ones which includes a 8-10 panel insert.

My understanding is that they're from my area in Eastern Ontario, a bit west of Ottawa. Robert Pallen has a few videos up on YouTube and one is from a town near mine, I believe where Dennis Cameron is from as well. Dennis's band Cynical Limit performed in my hometown when I was very young, I've heard.

That's a great song!  I wonder if the subject matter on the rest of the album is similar.

This is indeed solid. He has a great AOR voice, reminds me a bit of Peter Fredette on the Metropolis album.
