Another "Request & Fill Corner" request, John Parr related.
Don't be afraid by the 'boy-band' look of this guys.
Yes, they supposed to be a chart product, but unlike that kind of monstrosity, they wrote their own songs and really play all the instruments.
And what a beautiful AOR songs!
Produced by John Parr ("Man With A Vision" tune was recorded by himself in '92), they released 2 singles on the Polydor label the same year: "Inside Love" in january and "Man With A Vision" in june, 1990.
Seven went on to tour with The Monkees, Richard Marx and Jason Donovan, and the singles sold well, but some label / management problems dissolved the project.
A shame, they were very good.
There's rumours that a full album was recorded, but was shelved...
If you like Parr's music and style, well done poppy AOR with class, this is for you.
Man With A Vision maxi-single is complete (4 tracks), plus Inside Love 7'' version and 2 demos (supposed to be part of the unreleased album).
01. Man With A Vision [7'' version]
02. Just Close Your Eyes
03. Man With A Vision [extended version]
04. Stranger (In The Night)
05. Inside Love [7'' version]
06. Untill Then (demo)
07. Be That Girl (demo)

"Inside Love" is the second and final single of UK AOR band Seven.
By 1989, the band had managed to secure a contract with Polydor Records and for their first single, musician John Parr was hired to produce the song.[1] Parr was again hired to produce the follow-up single, titled "Man With a Vision". The song was written by Parr, lead guitarist Keith Macfarlane and keyboardist Simon Lefevre.[2]
The single didn't gain the commercial success that the band had hoped, only peaking at #91 in the UK for a total of two weeks.[3] The band's debut single, released earlier in 1990, peaked at #78 for a total of four weeks.[4]
A promotional video was created for the single, surfacing on YouTube in recent years.[5]
The b-side for the single was titled "Just Close Your Eyes" whilst the CD version of the single featured the extra track "Stranger (In The Night)".[6]
On the majority of formats for the single, an extended version of Man With a Vision was available.[7]
The band would shortly split after this single due to a series of internal struggles and arguments.[8]
