The first re-release of the sixth full-length solo studio album by legendary British guitarist and singer.
His first studio effort after a 1985 trip back to his native Belfast, Northern Ireland, the album contains several songs about Ireland. The album is dedicated to the memory of Moore's close friend and former Thin Lizzy bandmate Phil Lynott, who died on 4 January 1986, with the words "For Philip" on the rear cover.
"Wild Frontier" contains the hit Single "Over the Hills and Far Away", which reached No. 20 in the UK, as well as a cover of the Easybeats' song "Friday on My Mind". The Max Middleton-penned "The Loner" was originally recorded by Cozy Powell for his "Over The Top" album in 1979 (on which Moore performed, albeit not on Powell's recording of "The Loner"). The track was substantially altered by Moore for his own recording, thus he is credited as a co-writer. The song "Crying in the Shadows", which was released as the B-side of the "Over the Hills and Far Away" Single in December 1986 and appears as a bonus track on the CD version of "Wild Frontier", was also recorded by Japanese singer Minako Honda, titled "The Cross (Ai No Jujika)", with Moore on guitar.
Gary Moore was joined by The Chieftains on select tracks from this album.
Remastered re-edition contains three bonus tracks.

- Price in bonus-scraps: 229
This is the first of Irish guitar virtuoso true Hard Rock albums. Boasting a crisp, aggressive sound, "Corridors Of Power" kicks off with the foot-stomping "Don't Take Me for a Loser", delivers the token power ballad in "Always Gonna Love You", and floors the gas pedal on "Rockin' Every Night". However, the album's climax has to be the epic "End of the World" with it's two-minute long guitar solo intro and vocals courtesy of Cream's Jack Bruce, sharing lead vocals with Moore. This was the only Gary Moore's Rock single played on American radio. Moore would later join with Bruce again on the Bruce-Baker-Moore project in 1993.
The album also features then-former Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice, ex-Whitesnake bassist Neil Murray and former Uriah Heep singer John Sloman on backing vocals, with contributions from keyboardists Tommy Eyre and Don Airey, drummer Bobby Chouinard and bassist Mo Foster.
The album also contains a cover of the Free song "Wishing Well". A far Bluesier version of the "Love Can Make a Fool of You" song also showed up on the posthumous Gary Moore album, "How Blue Can You Get". As a nod to "Corridors Of Power", American guitarist Jeff Kollman named his 2012 solo album "Silence In The Corridor", the title track of which is a tribute to Moore.
This is the Gary Moore album to start with if you're new to or exploring Gary's career. All the Jazz and Blues and Rock influences of his life, and of his past works, all come together here for his 'classic' Hard Rock sound. Anyone who wants to learn how to play Rock guitar, this is one of those albums that you need to play again, and again... and again!

"Dirty Fingers" album was originally recorded in 1980, but was ultimately shelved in favour of the more radio-oriented "G-Force" (1980) – the only studio album by the namesake Irish-American band led by Gary Moore. Three of the tracks from "Dirty Fingers" ("Nuclear Attack", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and "Run to Your Mama") were firstly released as an "Nuclear Attack" EP in UK and Japan in 1981. The album "Dirty Fingers" was eventually released in Japan in 1983 by Jet Records, before an international release in the UK in June 1984.
"Dirty Fingers" are generally characterized by a raw, uncompromising Hard Rock aesthetic. As such, tough, virile rockers invariably slathered in frenetic six-string fretwork abound ("Hiroshima", "Kidnapped", "Lonely Night") but, with the exception of the unapologetically nasty "Run to Your Mama", these tend to fall well short of the material heard on 1978's "Back On The Streets" and its "official" successor, "Corridors Of Power", four years later. But there is at least one other career highlight to be found on "Dirty Fingers", and that's the bombastic "Nuclear Attack" (yet another of Moore's apocalyptic warnings), which, amid massive riffs that keep it Rocking like a motherf**ker, unveils a simple but effective counterpoint synthesizer theme that one could very well assume inspired Europe to write "The Final Countdown". Also know that most of the above find Moore sharing lead vocals with former Ted Nugent singer Charlie Huhn for the first and final time, and you'll have all you need to know about "Dirty Fingers" – an interesting but not essential Gary Moore album.

- Price in bonus-scraps: 129
Top-notch Hard Rock album with non-oafish sound – complex and somewhat Proggy with synths, advanced solos and even soulful R'n'B snippets, "Run For Cover" took the Hard Rock ingredients of Gary Moore's previous two albums and added a little pop refinement to the mix. Thankfully, this did not compromise the overall heaviness of the record. Considered as Moore's breakthrough, the album includes the top 5 single "Out in the Fields" and a re-recording of the song "Empty Rooms", originally from Moore's previous album, "Victims Of The Future", which became one of Moore's biggest solo successes, reaching No. 23 on the UK charts.
The album features many of Moore's musical friends, including Paul Thompson of Roxy Music, Deep Purple bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes on "Reach for the Sky" and "All Messed Up", and former Thin Lizzy leader and childhood friend Phil Lynott . Lynott and Moore trade lead vocals on "Out in the Fields", while Lynott sings alone on "Military Man", an old Grand Slam track. "Out in the Fields" is about the the religious turmoil in their native Ireland, it was actually Lynott's final recorded performance before his tragic death. It also presaged the musical and lyrical Irish themes which would dominate Moore's future work. Lynott also provided vocals for a re-recording of the Thin Lizzy classic "Still in Love with You", on which Moore originally played guitar; the track was initially issued as a B-side of "Out In The Fields", but is included on later remastered versions of the album.
Performance-wise, 'Run for Cover' might be Gary Moore's most well-rounded album. It has magnificant flow and never feels disjointed even with three lead vocalists. Of course, the guitar playing is absolutely stellar, but never at the expense of songwriting. Along with "Corridors Of Power" and "Victims Of The Future", "Run For Cover" represents the best in Moore's often over-looked Hard Rock period.

Moore's last Hard rock album before he became a born-again Bluesman, "After The War" continues in the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal guitar riffing of previous efforts, while continuing to explore more conventional Pop dynamics with mixed results, but like its predecessor, "Wild Frontier", the album contains elements of Celtic music. It works great on "Ready to Love," and, after dedicating his previous album to fallen childhood friend and musical partner, Phil Lynott, Moore finally honors him in song with the moving "Blood Of Emeralds."
On "Led Clones", Ozzy Osbourne, with whom Moore had worked before the singer united with Randy Rhoads, shares lead vocals. The song pokes fun at bands such as Kingdom Come which were popular at the time, and is based on a Led Zeppelin-type sound and image. "That song was great fun", - Ozzy recalled, - "and it was an honour to record with Gary". The Sisters Of Mercy frontman, Andrew Eldritch, provides backing vocals on the songs "After the War", "Speak for Yourself" and "Blood of Emeralds". The instrumental "Dunluce" is named after Dunluce Castle in Northern Ireland. Although Cozy Powell played drums on the album, he was replaced by Chris Slade for the tour, as he was set to tour with Black Sabbath, in support of the album, "Headless Cross", on which he also played drums.
"After The War" was Moore's last foray into conventional Hard Rock, and his last Rock album of any kind until "Dark Days In Paradise" in 1997. Starting with his next album, "Still Got The Blues", he primarily played Blues.
