John Parr – Running The Endless Mile | Vinyl LP | VG+
A strong mid-1980s AOR / pop-rock album from British singer John Parr, best known for the international hit “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)”. Running The Endless Mile (1986) continues Parr’s powerful melodic rock style with big choruses, polished production, and the driving arena-rock sound that defined the era.
The album features the well-known single “Two Hearts”, which gained further popularity after being used in the film American Anthem. Parr’s songwriting combines uplifting anthems with emotional ballads, backed by the glossy production typical of mid-80s rock releases.
Tracks such as “Blame It On The Radio,” “Scratch,” and “Don’t Leave Your Mark On Me” showcase Parr’s strong vocal delivery and radio-friendly hooks, making this LP a solid addition for collectors of 1980s AOR, soundtrack-era rock, and fans of artists like Bryan Adams or Foreigner.
This pressing was marketed and distributed by Trutone Music in South Africa, making it a locally distributed edition that appears less frequently than US copies.
