As always, hope everyone is safe & well!
First things first, I don’t always have time to respond to my messages so thank you to those who PM’d me and to the regulars who have always showed support from day one. You make it all worth it and I know you’re all in it for the music and support these bands when possible!
Sooooo, here is how I decided to wrap this up! There are a total of three volumes and three “Bonus Discs” left in this series. I will continue to release a volume every Friday which will take us exactly to December 25th (Christmas Day)! That is when I will post my favorite Volume of all “Lost But Not Forgotten 80's Volume 30 “Finale”! This will include my holy grail (almost 30 years to track down) among other incredible rarities! I will also try to include a short note for each track on volumes 28-30 similar to below. LET’S GO!
I have done my best to remaster all the tracks including those from CD's that needed a bit of tweaking. If I have used tracks that have appeared on others previous compilations, I apologize as this was not intentional! I had worked on these tracks quite some time ago and simply wanted to share them in lossless WAV format with the best sound possible. I will leave the link up for one week while I work on Volume 29! NOTE: Some of the tracks coming up are from 7” vinyl which in my opinion is the most difficult format to restore! I did my best!!!
Please, this in NO way is intended to take away sales from any of the artists included here but rather a way to discover or rediscover these timeless masterpieces as many of them have never officially appeared on CD or are long "Out Of Print". Please support these bands if they should have material available! They deserve all the credit!
“In Memory Of Dave “Swerve” Myrvold”
I hope you enjoy!
