Aurora is an extended play by British rock supergroup Asia, released on 2 April 1986 exclusively in Japan by Geffen Records.[1]
It consists of four songs: "Too Late" from Astra (1985) and three B-sides from different singles. "Ride Easy" was originally available only as a B-side, on "Heat of the Moment"[2] singles, released outside of the United Kingdom, and never appeared on a studio album. In an interview, released on the Fantasia: Live in Tokyo DVD (2007), vocalist and bassist John Wetton said that "Ride Easy" was one of his favorite Asia songs. "Daylight" was initially available as a B-side on "Don't Cry" singles and was featured as a bonus track on original Alpha (1983) cassette editions. "Lying to Yourself" was originally available only as a B-side, on "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes" singles, and never appeared on a studio album. All three B-sides were released on the compilation The Very Best of Asia: Heat of the Moment (1982–1990) (2000).
Aurora reached number 66 in Japan.[3]
