well, ABWH was released in june 1989 and was, by all accounts, classified as a success with 750.000 units sold and most concerts well attended. the tour lasted well into 1990 (japan, add. US dates) and then: relative silence. although rabin had his album out the other members seeme to have disappeared off the face of the earth; at least that is what my perspective was at the time. with the largely beneficial memory of the ABWH project still so fresh i deduct a distinct corporate interest to have the product out as soon as possible in order to capitalise on this good fortune ;-)> – also, both albums having been released on the ARiSTA label may have played a part with a commonality of staff involved. “union” sold roughly the same and yielded an amazing tour experience. another success? that’s open for interpretation.
