Topic: Riff-In-A-Jiff
"Ready To Love Again" comes from Harlequin's third studio album One False Move (1982), an album that included the songs "Superstitious Feeling" and "I Did It For Love" as singles. While not released as a single, "Ready To Love Again" was included on the CD issue of the band's Greatest Hits (1988) album as a bonus track. The best-of album was originally released in 1986 as Radio Romances on LP and cassette, then later re-issued on CD in 1988 under a new title and with four bonus tracks.
Tabbed here is the song's Intro. There are actually two guitar parts on the Intro, one playing the riff and one playing lead parts, but since there's very little overlap, I've combined it into one part.

In 1980 Vancouver band Doug and The Slugs released their debut album Cognac and Bologna. The album's first single was the Top 20 hit "Too Bad". (The Intro of that song was the Riff-In-A-Jiff entry for May 21, 2012.) The follow-up single was "Chinatown Calculation", the Intro of which is tabbed here.
"When It's Over" was a Top 20 hit from Loverboy's 1982 album Get Lucky. It has also appeared on all of the band's greatest hits compilations. Tabbed here is the guitar solo.
In the late 1970's, Canada was well represented in the progressive rock field by bands such as Rush, Saga, Klaatu, and FM. Sci-fi themes dominated FM's 1977 debut album Black Noise, as heard on tracks such as the space exploration epic "Aldebaran". Tabbed here is the Intro, which with its delay-laden electric mandolin is in some ways similar to the Intro of the album's opening track (and single) "Phasors On Stun".
The TPOH song "Killed By Love" was originally released as a non-LP single and video in 1987, the follow-up to the Toronto band's first indie single "I'm An Adult Now". Both songs were re-recorded for the band's platinum selling (in Canada) 1988 debut album Love Junk. Due to the re-record, there are two slightly different versions of the Intro to "Killed By Love". Both are tabbed here.
