"Full Circle" on LP brings the classic American rock band Head East back into the spotlight with a collection that captures their trademark blend of melodic hard rock, strong vocal harmonies and arena-ready hooks. Known for crafting memorable, guitar-driven songs built around powerful choruses, the band delivers a record that feels both timeless and energetic, appealing to long-time fans as well as new listeners discovering their catalog on vinyl. The warm, analog character of the LP format underlines the rich instrumentation and gives the songs a punchy, organic presence that suits their style perfectly.
Head East made their mark in the 1970s rock scene and remain best known for their enduring hit "Never Been Any Reason" and their successful early albums, which established them as a reliable live and studio act in the Midwestern and national US rock landscape. Their sound combines classic rock riffs with a strong sense of melody and accessible songwriting, allowing them to share stages with many contemporaries of the era and to build a loyal fanbase. A release like "Full Circle" underlines the band's consistency: powerful vocals, tight arrangements and a guitar-forward sound that bridges the gap between vintage hard rock and radio-friendly rock anthems.

Ich finde diese aktuelle Produktion von Head East sowohl als Digipack-CD als auch hier als Schallplatte in orange-transparenter Farbe vollkommen gelungen. Das Artwork ist durch und durch grandios einladend und paßt perfekt zur Head East Geschichte. Auch die Songauswahl genial. Teils neu aufgenommen mit der aktuellen Besetzung und teils neue Songs und sogar damalige Tracks mit Originalsänger John Schlitt "restauriert" und damit produziert und veröffentlicht.
Es macht Spaß, das Album anzuhören und der Preis stimmt auch.
Stsrk, dass die Band nach so langer Zeit noch aktiv ist, auch live Auftritte gibt.
Eine letzte Schallplatte der Band ist bereits einige Jahrzehnte her. Da kommt diese Produktion wie gerufen.
