Vitamin Z is an English group formed in 1982 by Geoff Barradale and Nick Lockwood.
Little is known about them except that they will have produced a total of 2 albums.
"Rites of passage" in 1985 from which will be extracted the hit single "Burning flame" which will work hard in the USA and "Sharp stone rain" in 1989.
Two well-made albums that it would have been a shame to ignore.

Tracks :
1985...a great start with this excellent title which immediately shows the level of potential of the group. And there is potential, that’s clear…
1985...a certain potential that we find in this very high caliber sequel. Which will remain as one of their best titles if not the best !
1985...a start to their career which saw them succeed in ranking several titles and this was only just reward. Of course we're not talking about mega hits but still...
1985...a sequel which will go a little more unnoticed. We suspect that not all their titles will end up at No.1 in the Charts and some will do more some figuration than anything else...
1985...but given the few titles produced in the end it would have been a shame to hide those which will not be released as Singles. So here they are brought back to light as they should be...
1985...not all titles will benefit from the same level of inspiration but the overall quality of this first opus is more than certain...
1985...a first opus which revealed them to the general public and which above all allowed them to show that they did not arrive there by chance...
1989...the years have passed. The sound has evolved somewhat but the melodic quality is still at a high level, it is clear...
1989...quality is still essential but it will not be enough to keep the group in the leading pack. While waiting for the sequel to get a definitive idea...
1989...a shame because this story started well with several classified titles. Something that they will not be able to reproduce with this new opus...
1989...they had the potential to do great things but they did not manage to reinvent themselves on the 2nd opus as they should have...
1989...we will still enjoy to the end what they are offering us from now on because there are still some interesting things in all that...
1989...the last title of a decade which saw them blossom, then arrive at the highest level only to unfortunately fall behind inexorably...
1990...an ending in the form of a parable about life as a couple. All carried by a perfectly kitsch and so 80's clip ! We take whatever happens...
1990 ... come on, the adventure is not entirely over. Especially when you see the quality of this title, it would have been frankly a shame to miss ...
