Found this at the Denver Record Show. No clue what it was, but the insert said they were from Denver. A quick bit of research on Discogs showed that it was obscure and that it was "hard rock". I didn't believe them but for $1 (in perfect condition) who cares right? And it checked two boxes for me: 1) mostly unknown and 2) local. The cover, however, looks like an Indie or Alt Rock record. As the years go by, and my tolerance levels continue to go up for most styles - including even country (only vintage 50's/60's though) - I absolutely cannot stand Indie / Alt rock. As you can probably guess since I'm featuring this title, it was no such thing.
It's not really hard rock, but that's not entirely inaccurate either. Actually the first band that entered my mind was Saga (Canada). That unique blend of 80s music, prog, AOR, and yes, hard rock. There's also more than a nod to Belew era King Crimson. And sure, there's some straight New Wave too. The Original Rabbits were probably three to four years late to the dance, and the major labels were onto the next big thing. But this is a really cool private press. Definitely a keeper for me.
Ownership: 1986 Rabbit Trax (LP). Lyric / picture insert.10/26/22 (review / new entry)
