Richard Fortus (The Eyes/ Pale Divine) - To Document the Years (A Retrospective 84-92) (CD/DVD)

Richard Fortus, the current guitarist of Guns N' Roses, rose to fame after joining GN'R for his eye-catching performances on stage and energetic rhythm guitar work, but he actually has a very long career as a musician, and before he made a name for himself through various session work (with The Psychedelic Furs, Love Spit Love, Enrique Iglesias, Rihanna, Nena, Cyndi Lauper, X Japan, Ian Astbury, Perry Farrell, etc.), he made his major debut with the rock band Pale Divine.

This album is a must-have for enthusiasts, packed with rare audio and video treasures. Disc 1 is a remaster of the first album by The Eyes, the band that preceded Pale Divine, "Freedom in a Cage." Disc 2 features unreleased demo recordings recorded by Pale Divine from 1991-93 after their major label debut "Straight to Goodbye." Disc 3 also features unreleased live footage and unreleased, treasured footage spanning over 210 minutes on two DVDs (NTSC format, region-free, so can be viewed in Japan).

This strange thing was quietly released as an independent album with only 1,000 sets available for online purchase. It comes in a triple-page book-style box with a 16-page full-color booklet, making it a collectible gem! The tracklist for each disc is as follows:
