About the Album:
In 1988, we made our first trip to play in Europe. We did 18 dates in England, followed by a one-nighter in Bern, Switzerland, where we met Andy Zahnd. Andy became our promoter and closest friend, and has continued to book dates for us ever since. He also started the AAC record label, and this was his first release. It includes songs going back to 1970, all the way through to 1991. Some songs were taken from vinyl because the masters were long lost. The album is probably the best archival piece available by our band. We have since recorded three much stronger projects, but everything on this album is of respectable quality and fun to listen to. It was released in Canada in 2002, and continues to be available on stage and through this site.
