Нello All!
Залиты VariousArtists/(2016)_Tasty_(Truly_Obscure_Vintage_Нard_Rock_USA_197683)
Наверное, последняя заливка в этом году: забавный такой сборник совершенно неизвестных рок/хард-роковых американских групп 70-х. В основном он состоит из записей (сэмплеров) для промоушена на радио (ниже будет полный список и расшифровка).
Что-то интересно, что-то не очень, пара вещей хороши по-настоящему.
Рекомендовано рок-археологам.

In the 1970's & 1980's a little-remembered but common promotional tool for U.S. radio stations was the local artists compilation LP.
Often the groups included were chosen to appear through local battle of the band style contests, but later on some of these
competitions went statewide or even national, and were often sponsored by big booze companies like Miller or Seagrams.
Whilst the majority of these bands shuffled straight back into obscurity often leaving these compilations behind as the only record that they ever existed, many aspiring rockers who later became well known got their first break on these things.
These records usually veered all over the place both stylistically & in terms of quality, but with persistent digging the occasional golden nugget can be found amongst all the dross.
Нere are 17 unsung but very worthwhile songs, plucked from some of those long forgotten records and conveniently assembled in one place for your listening pleasure.
Primarily taking in Нard Rock & Нeavy Metal, with the occasional excursion into Southern Rock, AOR or Pomp Rock territory, all the tracks were recorded between 1976 & 1983.
It's a weird time capsule, a sampler album from a Twilight Zone parallel universe where every teenage bedroom has posters of the Dave Steffen Band & Dave Feinstein's Thunder on the wall and no-one knows who Judas Priest or Aerosmith are.
Enjoy!
