Tracks :
1983...first title and already the biggest success of the group's entire discography. Certainly limited success in Canada but huge success all the same !
1983...as much as the previous title will have been talked about, this one will go somewhat unnoticed. Strange turnaround...
1984...same for this one which will go somewhat under the radar. After a thunderous start to say the least, the group has difficulty confirming all the good things that we think of them...
1984...fortunately business resumed with this title and de facto showed that the previous air hole was not definitive, far from it...
1984...new title to go unnoticed to say the least. The group is on a roller coaster ride and is really struggling to stabilize at a high level...
1985...they will succeed in raising the bar at the last minute with this title, but only just. Be careful not to play too much with fire as they say...
1985...unfortunately the group relapsed directly behind. They cannot manage to achieve long-term and, above all, continuity...
1986...so with each new title we wonder if it will be the last or not. They will prove with this title that anything is still possible for them...
1986...a title which will not be released as a single but which it would have been a shame to hide. Here it is brought back to light...
1986...same for this one. There was really talent and quality in this group so we might as well bring as many unknown titles to light as possible...
1987...the adventure continues no matter what. Not sure it will last for decades and decades but what is taken is no longer to be taken as the good old saying goes...
1987...a year 1987 which will surely remain as the best vintage of the group even if the 2 titles released that year will not remain as the best ranked of all. But they will both have been classified in any case...
1988...an adventure which unfortunately will not go further than this year 1988. Six short years and then gone, but better a short career with significant success than a long career without much relief...
