They recorded a single (“Treat Her Right” b\/w “Come On Up”) in 1981.[1]  The following year, the group issued a 4 song mini-album called Misunderstood which was recorded at Grant Avenue Studios and produced by Daniel Lanois.[2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In 1984, the band landed a deal with A&M Records.  With the help of producer David Tyson, who also became McTaggart’s frequent writing partner, the Arrows’ 1984 debut album Stand Back was a national success in Canada, providing a top 40 hit with “Meet Me in the Middle”.[3][4][5]  The album sold well, and the band found themselves as the opening act on the UK leg of Chris de Burgh’s 1984 tour.[citation needed]Upon returning home, they went back to the studio for work on their second album The Lines Are Open, which saw its release in October 1985.[6][5] The singles “Heart of the City”, “Talk Talk” and “Chains” all saw success in Canada, but pressures from management for a breakout hit were causing problems within the band, and following a cross-Canada tour, the group called it quits at the end of 1986.[5]In 1995, a CD compilation Talk Talk: The Best of The Arrows surfaced on a German import label that contained the majority of the tracks from their first two albums.[7]Stand Back were re-issued on CD in 2011,[8] and The Lines Are Open was re-issued in 2013.[9]McTaggart continued with his songwriting career, writing hit songs for artists such as “Heaven Help My Heart” by Wynonna,[10] and, as co-writer, “Unsung Hero” by Terri Clark[11] and several hits by Amanda Marshall, notably “Birmingham”[12] and her Canadian AC No. 1 hit “Dark Horse”, which also became a hit for Mila Mason.1981 line-up[edit]This line-up recorded the 1981 debut single “Treat Her Right” b\/w “Come On Up”Vocals – Dean McTaggartDrums and Percussion – Michael SloskiKeyboards – Gabor SzepesiBass – Hendrik RilkGuitars – Rusty McCarthy1982 line-up[edit]This line-up recorded the 1982 4-song mini-album Misunderstood.Vocals – Dean McTaggartDrums and Percussion – Michael SloskiKeyboards – Rob GusevsBass – Hendrik RilkGuitars – Rusty McCarthySaxophone – Earl Seymour1984 line-up[edit]This line recorded the 1984 album Stand Back.Vocals – Dean McTaggartGuitars – Doug MacaskillKeyboards – Rob GusevsSaxophone – Earl SeymourWith session musicians:Bass – Peter Bleakney, Howard AyeeDrums – Michael Sloski, Gary CraigPercussion – Matt ZimbelKeyboards, Vocals \u2013 David TysonBacking Vocals \u2013 Al Van Wart, Eddie Schwartz1985 line-up[edit]This line recorded the 1985 album The Lines Are Open.Vocals – Dean McTaggartKeyboards – Rob GusevsSaxophone – Earl SeymourGuitars – Doug MacaskillBass – Glenn OliveDrums – Bobby EconomouWith session musicians:Alto Saxophone – Vernon DorgeBacking Vocals – Charity Brown, David Blamires, John Rutledge, Sharon Lee Williams, David TysonPercussion – Memo AcevedoTrumpet – Rick Waychesko, Steve McDadeDiscography[edit]Studio albums[edit]Compilation albums[edit]Talk Talk: The Best of The Arrows (1995), Long Island RecordsMisunderstood (1982), Spontaneous RecordsSingles[edit]“Treat Her Right” (1981), El Mocambo Records“Come On Up” (1981), El Mocambo Records[13]“Lovelight” (1982), Spontaneous Records[14]“If It’s Love” (1982), Spontaneous Records[15]“Meet Me in the Middle” (1984), A&M Records  – Canada #30“Say It Isn’t True” (1984), A&M Records[16]“Never Be Another One” (1984), A&M Records[17]“Girl in 313” (1984), A&M Records[18]“Talk Talk” (1985), A&M Records – Canada #47[19]“Easy Street” (1985), A&M Records[20]“I Owe You” (1985), A&M Records[21]“Heart of the City” (1986), A&M Records – Canada #57[22]“Tell It To My Heart” (1986), A&M Records[23]“Chains” (1986), A&M Records – Canada #93[24]“Wild One” (1986), A&M Records[25]References[edit]External links[edit]     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/the-arrows-canadian-band-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"The Arrows (Canadian band) – Wikipedia"}}]}]
