MESSAGE (Dean Fasano) – Outside Looking In [Escape Music] (2000), MP3+FLAC, CD-Rip w/ Scans


MESSAGE was formed in 1980 by New Jerseyans Dean Fasano (vocals), guitarist Richie Sambora, and bass player Alec John Such. Yes, you know the guys, this is their early band before Bon Jovi. They released a self-financed mini-album, but MESSAGE broke up when Richie & Alec joined Jon’s band. The members of Message parted ways, but they would still stay in touch with each other for some time, with Fasano collaborating in some Bon Jovi albums.
