Songs From the Rocks on CD

This release takes us back to the early beginnings of the Gear Fab Label in 1986. GF101 was Gear Fab's first release: a 45 picture jacket by founder Roger Maglio's cover band, The Borrowed Times, Walk Away Rene b/w Tobacco Road. GF102, another picture jacket 45, contained two tracks from Songs From The Rocks: A Cold Day In December, written on 9 December, 1980, one day after the assassination of John Lennon, b/w Flower Child. GF103 was a full length LP containing 9 tracks, 8 original compositions and one cover. Roger plays all the instruments on the album, which feature some nice heavy organ, fuzz guitar and string arrangements, as well as a surf tune about the beaches of Long Island back in the 1960s.
