Spectre (USA 1982)

 



Another 1000 dollar record bites the dust...

One of a million Spectre-titled bands these AOR hard rockers only released one private pressed in the late year of 1982.  It must have been requested by someone or I don't think I would've paid attention to whether it was available.  At any rate, no one needs to pay an arm and a leg to find out if the music is good, you can ascertain for yourselves today, and beg your wife for mercy in the unlikely event you do decide to purchase this vinyl thereafter.

The recording and sound are poor, for sure, they could've done a better job in the studio. And the music is pretty average for the time. Just as you'd expect there is at least one track with the descending minor pattern (the Stairway to Heaven or While my Guitar Gently Weeps chord progression).  First track:



What is the explanation for the high price tag?

  2. Hi!

    Not sure why high price. One listed @ Discogs for $1,200.20 CDN. Band members? Only LP listed for Vedauwoo record label. Producer? There's 1 more YT track @ their Discogs page here:
