I found a copy of this record in really great condition. Anybody know anything about it? Based on the album notes, Q-FM and The String Shoppe had a contest of sorts with local bands, the winnners being featured on the record. It states over 200 bands auditioned. The only name I recognize is McGuffey Lane. Here is a track listing and comments from a website I found. Link to the site with a pic of the album is at the end.
1. FRANK PIERCE GROUPE - Livin' For You
AOR.
2. GARY WHITMAN - Silence Of Surrender
RUSH-inspired progressive hard rock with some heavy riffs but unfortunately the completely wrong kind of high pitched vocals. Gary would form the band CITADEL the following year (see the Unity Gain DLP), who recently re-released this song on their Vintage Vinyls CD.
3. MCGUFFEY LANE - Stay In Love With You
Country.
4. GEOFF TYUS - Daytrain
Jazz.
5. THE BUTTONS - I Saw Superman
Powerpop.
Side B:
1. SPITTIN' IMAGE - I Can’t Wait
Country rock.
2. CHAMP - Got Caught In The Feeling
AOR/pomp.
3. REFLECTION - Friend
Country.
4. THE MUFFS - Why
Powerpop.
5. PAGEN BROTHERS BAND - Lay Down In Shanty Town
Reggae rock.
6. ROUGHRIDER - Country Rocker
Just what the song title says.
