What was the reason for rerecording “Winning Man” on 1988s Heart Attack album, and was it released as a single?
“After 7 years of continueously being “On the Road” and in and out of recording studios, our creativity flow was pretty burnt up and dried out! At that period of time we needed a good ballad for ‘Heart Attack’, the choice was to re-record ‘Winning Man’ from the ‘Hardware’ album. Ironically speaking this was a song we took from our “first” official US release with Arista Records, and it was re-recorded for our “last” US release to date on MCA… the end of our most adventurous and successful era so far… Now we are at the beginning of a fresh new “chapter” which symbolically started with ‘Rock The Block’ shooting straight up from 0 to No.1 in the Swiss Charts… our future looks so bright I need to wear sunglasses, ha, ha!
