Broadcasting to the Nation (The lost third album) Music CD

Andy Ellison - vox. Ian Macleod - Gtr. Steve Parry - drums. Trevor White - Bass. Recorded at Oakwood Studios Herne Bay, Kent 1979. With Lead Singer Andy Ellison's autobiography due, profile is high on bands such as John's Children & Radio Stars - This being the unreleased third album recorded back in 1979 and the tapes only recently having been recovered. With the loss of founder, songwriter and ex-Sparks guitarist Martin Gordon, Radio Stars developed a brand-new heavier sound. This was met with positive feedback from the press at live shows throughout 1979. A Live concert recorded in London from that time has been added as bonus material. Booklet includes notes from Ellison and memorabilia from the time. Captures perfectly the direction in which Radio Stars were now moving, a hard rocking mood that, with ex-Sparks guitarist Trevor White playing rhythm on his bass, bore more than a passing resemblance to vintage Thin Lizzy. They were also a far more honest effort than if the band had tried to continue writing Martin Gordon-type songs, a fact which audiences were not slow to appreciate, and applaud. Sadly, however, it was not to last - as he wrote in "Out to Lunch," Ellison found that "just when you think you've got it made, they come and take it all away." With the dawning of the summer of 1979, came the demise of Radio Stars, and the shelving of the album.
