Description Special Deluxe Collector''s Edition. Fully Remastered, enhanced artwork, and new interviews. Axe delivered their glorious second album `Living On The Edge'' another Melodic Pomp Rock masterpiece for the MCA/CURB label. Produced by Tony Reale, a man whose credits encompassed a wide variety of acts, from pop music to edgier rock, the sound drew heavily from the melodic rock sounds of the time and is blessed with pin-point vocal harmonies and lavish arrangements. Strange then that the label decided to issue a cover song as the album''s first track; `I Can''t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)'' originally cut by the Four Tops. It was clear that MCA had very little understanding of the band''s fan base, preferring instead to pitch them as a pop outfit without defining their real style. The album''s final song `For A Little While'' is a far more representative track, blending melody and power with a well-developed Pomp Rock sheen. Sadly, for Axe, their label president was replaced, and the band were let go. Axe should appeal to fans of `80s rock and metal, particularly bands like April Wine, Foreigner, Uriah Heep, Balance and Touch.
