As a long time follower of the band states, Eddie & The Tide were not just another band. “If you are from the San Francisco Bay area they were a part of your life†playing live virtually every weekend in the clubs around San Francisco. The roots of this band go back to 1979 when they started out as The Suburbs. In 1981 with lead vocalist, main songwriter and rhythm guitarist Steve “Eddie†Rice coming on board they changed their name to Eddie & The Tide. Much later, in 1985 they were picked up by Atco/Atlantic Records for which they recorded two classy AOR albums, 1985’s “Go Out And Get it†with Eddie Money producing and the follow up “Looking For Adventure†two years later which included a track produced by Keith Olsen (Fleetwood Mac, Rick Springfield). The record however that sparked the interest by Atco was already released in 1984 on the independent Spin Records label. After a debut 6 song EP in 1983 entitled “Maybe I’ll Get Lucky†and the single “Running Wild, Running Free†on hot rotation on AOR radio stations all over California, Eddie & The Tide entered the legendary Fantasy Studios in Berkley, California with their manager and producer Bobby Corona in the fall of 1983 in order to record the tunes which would become their first full length album “I Do It For Youâ€. Little did they know it would soon become one of the biggest selling independent records of the Westcoast and win a Bay Area Music Award for “Best Independent Record Of 1984â€. Like the following major releases “I Do It For You†offers ten powerful AOR anthems and heartfelt ballads which feel at home somewhere between Eddie Money and Bruce Springsteen at his AOR moments yet retaining the typical Eddie & The Tide - trademark sound. Just listen to tracks like the opening anthem “Running Wild Running Freeâ€, the smooth and catchy as hell “One In A Million†or the fine Hi-Tech AOR piece “Night Drive†and you know you’re in for a treat! Especially For this exclusive first time CD-release by Target Records the ten album tracks were remastered by Alan Goldwater at Magic Sound, California and as a special bonus three bonus tracks from the album sessions were added.
