CROSS (EX-QUEEN, ROGER TAYLOR AUTOGRAPH) - BLUE ROCK-1991-FIRST PRESS UK/EU-GERMANY-7777976241. A mega rare original of EX-QUEEN's solo work. The Cross is a British rock band founded by Queen drummer Roger Taylor. It existed from 1987 to 1993, during which time it released 3 studio albums and 9 singles. The band's sound changed with each album: Shove It mixed rock and dance music; Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know was closer to hard rock, and Blue Rock mixed elements of hard rock and heavy metal. The third album, Blue Rock, was the most controversial. Some fans call it frankly weak, while others leave only the best reviews about the album. This album was released only in Germany and Japan, where The Cross achieved the greatest popularity. It seems that the band broke up due to a complete lack of interest in the UK and the US. The Cross was not a great commercial success, although the album Shove It still managed to reach number 58 in the UK charts, the singles Shove It — number 82, Heaven for Everyone — number 83 and Power to Love-number 85. ...more
