REQ: The Waterfront - Be With You ('88) Philip Jap

Postby Dominik500 » Sun Apr 07, 2013 7:59 pm

Has anyone heard The Waterfront? Philip Jap was apparently the vocalist, and Colin Thurston produced their only EP in 1988.

I can't find anyone who's heard it. What does it sound like? Can anyone share?

Thanks in advance, this is becoming my white whale.

Interesting - I was expecting something more sophisti-pop, since it's from 1988, but it sounds like more like he moved in a glam/arena rock direction. Not exactly my kind of stuff, but I was glad to finally have some CD quality music ;)

Here's the album artwork, remastered!

Aladinsane, thank you SO much!!!! It's even better than I thought it would be (I was expecting something way more electronic or house) I can't believe you had it, I've been hunting for so long!!!

Thanks again!
