Sterling. 1981 USA-Minneapolis


Classic yacht rock here. Softer than standard AOR with a higher sophistication. Good looking guys singing about love while presumably the sexy female audience are drinking highballs. Get out your white pants and double breasted blue coat.


Own. Thrift shop find (2024)


9/2/23 (first listen / review); 1/1/25 (new entry)

Duc - Hopeless Battle / Caught in a Rush. 197? USA


Great find here. I'm a sucker for rhythm guitar to begin with, and this gets the song started right away, including a driving bass and drums. Excellent singer. There's a killer mid song hard rock riff that's downright proggy, followed by one of the two cool guitar solos. The B) side might be even better. Love the rhythm guitar, has a sweet yacht rock thing going while the guitar rips along in his own world, especially the psyched out solo. Top notch group here - Duc should have been signed up. 

This was my favorite discovery of 2022.



Ownership: SP: 19?? Screamin' Duck. Online acquisition (2022).

I found a couple of references (including 45cat) of the band being known as Duc. It looks like Ducs and it was sold that way to me. Can see it either way.

4.5 / 5.0
