Album Description

Limited Edition. Waite first achieved popularity and success fronting ex-pat hard rockers the Baby's, notching up two Top 20 US hit singles before breaking up the group to launch a solo career, a path that would see him score a US #1 single in 1984 with the plaintiff but hugely powerful 'Missing You'. Ignition, Waite's debut solo album was recorded in New York City in late 1981 and reflects a man awash with brave ideals and ruthless musical conviction. Upbeat, bristling with determination and extremely hard rocking, the songs reflect a man on a mission, delivered with one of the most concise productions of the era (courtesy of Pat Benatar guitarist Neil Geraldo). Widely acknowledged as Waite's greatest album, Ignition gets the full Rock Candy reissue treatment with a remastered clarity that will resolutely and undeniably confirm Waite's position as a rock vocalist extraordinaire. Includes 16 page color booklet with original and enhanced artwork with new photos and extensive memorabilia. 2005.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars great waite.......2006-07-03

Great work.
Not too many soft songs:it's still rocking,not like the new stuff released after bad english.A lot of great songs like the unusual Mr Wonderfull.
I've seen him live in Holland on the two dates.
The only song from bad english was "when I see u smile"...a pity..
According to what Frontiers label says,he is gonna make energic rock.
It could be a good news but Waite added with no synth just stripped music....not sure this will please his fans.
A pity because this guy still has a wonderfull voice and his shows are worth seeing even if he is playing too many soft songs...
