Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Rare 1987 Private Pressing. Includes Lyric Sheet, Order Form And Comment Card. “Steve One And The Shades, The Quintessential 80's Power-Pop, Rock Band From The San Francisco Bay Area, Disbanded In 1990. They Released One 5-Song E.P., Produced By Scott Mathews, On Cassette In 1987 And A 7-Song Vinyl Album And Cassette, Produced By Dave Denny, In 1988. (Two Of The Songs Were Repeated, So There Was No Reason To Include Both Versions Of The Same Songs Here.) These Recordings Were Primarily To Be Used As Demos To "Shop" To The Major Labels, But After Numerous Requests From Fans And Media, They Printed Two Limited Runs Of Product...Albums And Tapes...And Were Distributed Throughout Northern California. The Two Pressings Sold-Out Almost Immediately. These Songs Were Produced On An Extremely Tight Budget With Minimal Overdubs. In Fact, For The Lead Vocals, Steve Was Given Only One Take Per Song. And In Rapid Succession. All The Vocals Were Cut In One Quick 2 Hour Session.” – Soundclick
