Bio:

Mr. Mister was an American pop rock band most popular in the 1980s. The band's name came from an inside joke about a Weather Report album called Mr. Gone where they referred to each other as "Mister This" or "Mister That", and eventually selected "Mr. Mister."Mr. Mister may be considered as representative of the melodic sound of 1980s pop rock.The band consisted of Richard Page on lead vocals and bass guitar, Steve George on keyboards/backing vocals, Pat Mastelotto on acoustic and electronic drums/percussion and Steve Farris on guitars/backing vocals. Mr. Mister was the successor to the band Pages, fronted by Page and George from 1978 to 1981.Although formed in Phoenix, Arizona,Mr. Mister was based in Los Angeles.Richard Page had previously worked as a session musician (for Quincy Jones) and had composed for Michael Jackson, Donna Summer, Kenny Loggins, Al Jarreau, and many more.In 1978, Page and his childhood friend Steve George founded the band Pages in Phoenix, Arizona. Pages explored a pop fusion sound, with a changing lineup of session musicians. Although Pages had a minor hit single with "I Do Believe In You," and its three albums garnered favorable reviews, the group had little commercial success.After disbanding Pages in 1981, Page and George focused on songwriting and studio session work for pop artists ranging from Laura Branigan to the Village People.By 1982, Page and George began putting together a more pop-oriented group with a permanent lineup, rounded out by drummer Pat Mastelotto and guitarist Steve Farris. All four members had done extensive session work for other artists and brought numerous influences to the band. The initial plan was to bring in a fifth member (a bassist), but after realizing that Page, who was originally slated to be solely the lead singer, could hold his own on bass guitar, the members decided to remain a fourpiece.When the first Mr. Mister album, I Wear the Face, was released by RCA Records in 1984, Page was offered the chance to replace Bobby Kimball as lead singer of Toto, and later was offered Peter Cetera's place in Chicago; he refused both offers.Their second album, 1985's Welcome to the Real World—with lyrics from Page's cousin John Lang—was the breakthrough for Mr. Mister. All three singles were in the top 10, two of which hit No. 1 on the U.S. pop charts—"Kyrie" and "Broken Wings". The latter was inspired by the book of the same title by Khalil Gibran.They had several No. 1 MTV videos, and performed at the first MTV Spring Break show in 1986. That year, Mr. Mister had two Grammy Award nominations, including Best Pop Band (which was awarded to the "We Are the World" ensemble, USA for Africa).During this time, Mr. Mister toured with other popular acts including Don Henley, The Bangles, Eurythmics, Tina Turner, and Adam Ant. The band's third album was Go On..., which was not a commercial success.During the 1980s, the group wrote and/or performed songs for several movies, including the title song for Stand and Deliver, and Is It Love as the outro track for Stakeout.Guitarist Steve Farris left in 1988. The remaining bandmembers teamed up with Christian recording artist Paul Clark and acted as his backup band for Clark's 1988 indie release Awakening from the Western Dream. Next, the band began working on a fourth album, Pull, with session guitarists Buzz Feiten, Trevor Rabin, Doug Macaskill and Peter McRea. The album was completed in 1990, but RCA Records decided not to release it. Soon afterward, the band broke up. The album remained unreleased for 20 years—though one track ("Waiting in My Dreams") appeared on a 2001 greatest hits collection by the band. On November 23, 2010 the remastered album was finally released by the band – in collaboration with Sony music – on Richard Page's independent label, Little Dume Recordings. The album is also available from Sony on iTunes and other digital distribution channels.

Album:

The two more celebrated Mr. MISTER albums have been 'Remastered & Reloaded' by Rock Candy Records, featuring a bunch of awesome bonus tracks and a very interesting essay about the recording process."Go On..." is the second, an underrated gem including terrific compositions.When Mr. MISTER’S ‘Welcome To The Real World’ album eventually became a huge international seller, producing two massive hit singles in Kyrie and Broken Wings, the music business hailed them as all conquering heroes destined to take their place in the rock ‘n’ roll hall of fame.So much attention was focused on this their follow-up album, the meticulously crafted "Go On...", with many eyes and ears confidently predicting another massive success story. Sadly, however, that was not to be."Go On..." suffered at the hands of a record company corporate reshuffle, one that saw it change hands and clean out its long time staff. RCA had been sold to German media group BMG who set in motion a restructuring of the company, a place where Mr. MISTER’s new music was not appreciated.It was a disappointing state of affairs as the band had poured their heart and soul into crafting an album that, in many respects, displayed a far more confident and courageous sound.... but one that BMG were not sold on.Utilising producer Kevin Killen who had previously crafted records by U2 and Peter Gabriel, "Go On..." elevates the band to another creative level.The sound is perfectly pristine, boasting a brace of superb songs including the all time great "Stand And Deliver" and the exquiste single "Healing Waters" wrapped up in a progressive rock&pop sheen that, even to this day, makes it entirely unfathomable as to why the record label failed to see its potential.In fact, if you ask me, although I love Mr. MISTER's previous album, I like "Go On..." even more.The record retained the same themes, stylistics and quality of work of ‘Welcome To The Real World’, this time a bit more darker and moodier, but more elegant at the same time. The sound production is awesome crystal clear, and there's an adult AOR fragrance floating all over.Rock Candy's remaster of Mr. MISTER "Go On..." handled by Jon Astley is excellent, as are the hard to find 4 tracks addded as bonus, the great 16 page full colour booklet, the essay and interview, etc.
