Dark Days in Paradise is the eleventh solo studio album by Irish guitarist Gary Moore, released in 1997.
Much like his earlier album Still Got the Blues , Dark Days in Paradise represented a stark change in musical direction for Moore, eschewing the electric blues style of his preceding albums in favour of a more contemporary sound. [2]

The 2003 remaster did away with the one-minute pause and adds an index for the title track, but it's still not mentioned on the packaging or in the lyrics, which means the actual bonus tracks (which originally appeared on the CD single "One Good Reason" VSCDT 1632) are given as track 11 and 12 respectively on the printed tracklist.
The remaster misses several more b-sides that were released on CD singles in 1997:

Summer in Paradise is the twenty-seventh studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on August 3, 1992 by Brother Records. Produced by Terry Melcher, it is the only album not to feature any new contributions from Brian Wilson, and has been regarded as the band's critical and commercial low point, failing to chart in either the US or UK and receiving almost unanimously negative reviews. In North America, it was the group's first album to only be released on CD and Cassette, with only a rare vinyl pressing which was released in South Korea. The Beach Boys did not record another album of original material until That's Why God Made the Radio in 2012. Summer in Paradise was left out of Capitol's Beach Boys CD reissue campaign of 2000 to 2001, as well as all other reissues for most of the group's discography. Both it and its predecessor, Still Cruisin', are currently out of print.
