Talisman was the self-titled 1st studio album by hard rock band Talisman released in February 1990 on Airplay/Vinylmania in Sweden.
After a couple of weeks, the first single "I’ll Be Waiting" took off (#2 on the 'Trackslist', major radio show, top ten on the singles chart) and the album sold some 30.000+ records in two months. Then the label went bankrupt. The band did some touring (featuring Jason Bieler lead guitar, Jake Samuels drums & Thomas Wikström kbds+backing vox) and charted top ten on the attendance chart that summer.
Even though the album had done well enough to get Marcel Jacob signed to Warner Records, singer Jeff Scott Soto had already committed to the Eyes album release in the States. So for a while, this was it for this album. Eventually it would get re-released on Dino/Empire with some bootleg quality video camera sound live tracks.
