Bio:
Terraplane were a 1980s pop rock band from London, England. Composed of five musicians, they released two albums before disbanding in 1988. The band featured three musicians who would go on to form the hard rock act, Thunder. They are distinct from the German psychedelic groove rock band Terraplane, based in Wernigerode, which released three albums between 2000 and 2007.Singer Danny Bowes, guitarist Luke Morley and drummer Harry James and bassist Nick Linden were the original recording line-up. After releasing a single on the independent 'City' label, they soon signed with Epic Records. With the much-delayed debut album almost completely recorded, they recruited second guitarist Rudi Rivière in time for him to appear on just one track on that release. That first studio album, Black and White (originally titled Talking to God on the Great White Telephone) was released by Epic Records in January 1986 and was critically well received. However, by 1987 their record label was exerting pressure on the band to follow up with another album of a soulful direction, with the resulting album Moving Target alienating the band's fan base.Morley, Bowes and James regrouped in 1989 to form Thunder; all three remain in that band as of February 2019.
Album:
Here’s the UK-only release “The Singles Collection” of TERRAPLANE, the ’80s band of future Thunder founders Danny Bowes (vocals), Luke Morley (guitars) and Gary James (drums). This Lemon Recordings / Cherry Red Records 2-CD pack is the first ever complete singles round up from the seminal British Hard Rock band.Every A and B side issued by the band is here with many tracks / versions appearing on CD for the first time, and the whole release has been totally remastered by Tim Turan.Morley & Bowes formed the band in South London in 1983 and after some line up changes and definitely adopting the Terraplane name, they independently released “I Survive,” a single whose popularity earned them a record deal from Epic.The label pushed Terraplane to find a poppier, more radio-friendly sound akin to Bon Jovi or Survivor, and the band consented, releasing their debut, Black & White in 1985. There were 5 singles from the album. Terraplane’s sophomore album, Moving Target, came out in 1987, and produced 3 singles.After the release of Black & White, group then added guitarist Rudy Riviere, whose harder style gave more edge to their live sound for their tour, but before recording had begun for their follow-up, Riviere had left to pursue other ventures.Terraplane’s sophomore album, Moving Target, came out in 1987, but next year Terraplane broke up as the bands members were looking for a more bluesy hard rock sound.Bowes, Morley, and James regrouped with guitarist / keyboardist Ben Matthews and bassist Mark “Snake” Luckhurst and became Thunder, whose style resulted a more aggressive version of Terraplane’s, and ended up giving them huge success until this day.“The Singles Collection” showcases Daniel Bowes & Luke Morley early abilities to write catchy tunes and fine melodies – Terraplane sound was absolutely mid-80s, and we have here all their best songs / singles.
