The NWOBHM connection here is that EVERY member of EMERALD was at some time a member of the mighty SWEET SAVAGE.
These are not my rips and I don't know where I got these demos from, but I've had them since 2015 so many thanks to the original uploader.
Probably more heavy metal than AOR but the nice use of keyboards pulls the demos into AOR territory.
Both demos in the one archive.
