Far Corporation`s second album had originally been scheduled for release in 1987 under the title `Advantage`. Two singles were released at the time, `One By One` and `Sebastian` before the album was cancelled. Two songs were re-worked and given to other Farian-produced artists - `Make Believe` was recorded by Jayne, `Big Brother` by Milli Vanilli. In 1994, Farian dug out the masters and got a new line-up of the group together to record a few new songs that were added to the track list, and the result was released as `Solitude`.

Far Corporation were a multi-national band created by German record producer Frank Farian, who created the bands Boney M. and Milli Vanilli. The name was shortened from `Frank Farian Corporation`, which was originally put together to record a cover of the Paul Simon piece `Mother and Child Reunion` as a charity record and reached the top 10 in several European countries. That group`s lineup included members of Barclay James Harvest, Toto, Boney M and Force Majeure.

Far Corporation`s primary claim to fame is their cover of `Stairway to Heaven`. Contrary to public perception, Far Corporation was actually the first group to make the singles charts with this song as Led Zeppelin had never released it as a single. In fact, it was the only version of the song that charted on the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching #89 in October 1986.[1][failed verification] Some of the musicians Farian assembled included vocalist Robin McAuley, vocalist Henry Gorman, drummers Curt Cress and Peter Bold, and three members of Toto: vocalist Bobby Kimball, keyboardist David Paich, and guitarist Steve Lukather. Far Corporation released its first album Division One in 1985 on IMP/ATCO Records and their cover of `Stairway to Heaven` reached #8 on the UK Singles Chart.[2] It also reached #9 in Ireland and the following year peaked at #16 in South Africa[3] and number 23 in Australia.[4]

Also included on the album was a cover of Free`s `Fire and Water` (their second single).[5]

The band was promoted by a full playback performance at German TV ZDF in the show `Rockpop`. The show was also attended by Robert Plant, who backstage congratulated Robin McAuley for his great performance. Some rehearsal shots were used for Puma sportswear commercials underlyied by `Live is Life` hit of the Austrian band Opus making the impression of FAR Corporation performing the Opus hit.

A second album, Advantage was completed for a 1987 release, heralded by the new single `One by One`. Both this as well as the second single - a cover of Cockney Rebel`s `Sebastian` - failed to reach the charts, and the album was eventually scrapped. Two years later, another complete track, `She`s Back Again`, appeared on the soundtrack to the German TV show `Blaues Blut` in 1989.[6] Two of the album`s lost recordings, `Make Believe` and `Big Brother`, surfaced as Bobby Kimball duets on Farian artist Jayne (Collins)`s Ambush in the Night album (1989) and Milli Vanilli`s second album The Moment of Truth (1991). The rest, bar `One by One`, were recycled along with a few new recordings on the group`s second release, 1994`s Solitude on MCI-BMG. This time they were joined by former Thin Lizzy and 21 Guns guitarist Scott Gorham; included on the album was a cover of the 21 Guns song `Just a Wish`. Mostly assembled in honour of Farian`s 25 years anniversary as a producer, the album failed to repeat the success of `Stairway to Heaven`.
