Starcastle song for alaya 1978 5th song of real to reel


Real to Reel is the fourth studio album by American progressive rock band Starcastle. It was their final release on Epic Records.

Contents

Reception

Real to Reel marked a drastic change of direction from their previous progressive rock efforts to a more AOR-oriented sound. It was a commercial failure, generally panned by critics and fans alike and ultimately led to Starcastle disbanding. Bassist Gary Strater moved to San Francisco before forming a new version of the band in 1985 that featured future Vicious Rumors guitarist, Mark McGee.
