![]() ![]() A collection of hits spanning the group's five records, it also contains the only copy of "You're The Only Love" on disc. ![]() ![]() "A&M released BETWEEN A ROCK & A HYDE PLACE in 1987. This compilation included no Rock and Hyde recordings per se, only A&M-era recordings the band had released under the name Payolas (or Paul Hyde and the Payolas)." “Dirty Water” also charted on the US Hot 100.A&M tried to piggyback on the duo's EMI success by immediately offering forth a greatest hits package called Between a Rock & a Hyde Place. This album's credits included a rather pointed dig at former producer Foster by offering a "very special thanks" to new producer Bruce Fairbairn, who "did the decent thing and let us be ourselves (we can all look in the mirror in the morning now)."Under the Volcano was critically well-received, and Rock and Hyde had two hits in Canada with “Dirty Water” and “I Will”. "In 1987, the band rebranded themselves as Rock and Hyde (although the core duo was still in fact working with Payolas Taylor and Boynton) and released Under the Volcano on Capitol/EMI. Their 1987 release, Under the Volcano,included the modest US hit 'Dirty Water,' as well as 'I Will' and 'Talk to Me,' which were popular in Canada. Rock & Hyde is actually a side project of Payola$,the Vancouver rock band, active 1979-88 under the leadership of songwriters Paul Hyde (vocals) and Bob Rock (guitar).After the breakup of the band in 1986, Bob and fellow Payola$ member Paul Hyde continued to write songs together under the name Rock 'N'Hyde. The payoff here includes catchy hooks, clean production and superb AOR sensibilities throughout." "Their one-and-only release as Rock & Hyde, here's Paul Hyde and Bob Rock of Payola$ fame. Note to production duties handled by Bruce Fairbairn ( Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Ac/Dc) which are clean with good sound ( Bob Rock with Mike Frazer). A good half is solid uncomplicated listenable songs( Dirty Water, I Will, Blind, The Deaf and The Lame and excellent Knocking on Closed Doors with closing slow one It´s Always Raining). Little bit poppy production with radiooriented hooks with lot of keyboards and harmonies. "One of the post-Payolas records features Paul Hyde and maestro producer Bob Rock. ![]() Paul Hyde - vocals, guitar (from Payola$) Bob Rock - guitar, keyboard, bass (from Payola$) ![]()
