BAND OF GOLD - Let`s Dance (1993 Montesano, WA)

Yet another one in which I don`t know much about. Band Of Gold was a 5 piece group from Montesano, Washington. I don`t believe they wrote their own music, I believe they just covered classic material. "Let`s Dance" has 20 songs including "Crystal Chandeliers", "Sweet Georgia Brown", and more. I have another version of "Let`s Dance" that I will be posting soon. Right off the top of my head I think the songs are the same, but the artwork on that one is in black and white. I guess we will see soon.

Band of Gold was:

Dean Dillard - Tenor Sax/Alto Sax

Shirley Dillard - Bass Guitar

Ray Stelter - Rhythm Guitar/Accordian

Ginny Stetler - Piano/Clavinova

Bill Burke - Drums

Anyway, if you have any information on Band of Gold or this cassette, please leave a comment or drop me an email.

BOB McGRATH AND NANCY STRAND - Isn`t He Love (198? Seattle, WA) CHRISTIAN

I`m unsure of the year of release on this one, but I think early to late 80`s . It has 12 tracks, and was produced by Dan Foster. I believe it was a tape only release. Bob McGrath unfortunately passed away in 2007 of a sudden heart attack. He was a tenor, and Nancy Strand a soprano, together with pianist Joan Lundquist they did shows all over the Pacific Northwest. You may have heard Bob sing the National Anthem at Hawks, Sonics or Husky games, including the Rose Bowl. McGrath even sang with Seattle Opera and the Seattle Symphony, back in the 1960s and early 1970s. Bob partnered with Nancy Strand, for over 18 years.

REVEREND - Play God (1991 Seattle, WA) GERMAN IMPORT - METAL CHURCH -

Reverend`s 1991 release "Play God". It`s their 3rd release. It has 11 rippin` songs. It is the German import version. They haven`t released an album since 2011, but they did release 3 full albums and 3 eps. Reverend started after David Wayne decided to leave Metal Church in the late '80's at that time, Heretic, whose singer left to replace Wayne in Metal Church, urged him to listen to their songs. Wayne met with Heretic at a Denny's restaurant where they played him some of their songs on tape. Wayne, impressed, decided they were the band for him, and the seed was planted for Reverend.

LARRY BROWN AND THE REVELATION - Revealing Jesus To You (198? Issaquah, WA) HEAVENBOUND - KING`S ENVOY QUARTET

Another great tape from Redeemed Records of Issaquah, Washington. I am not sure what year this was released, but I kind of think it was before 1983. 10 great songs from Larry Brown and the Revelation. Looking closer at the artwork I am sure this is the same people who were in the Redeemed Records group "Heavenbound", which I have blog posts about already. I believe that The Revelation became Heavenbound in about 1983 or so. It`s safe to say that this band is also made up of Larry and Joy Brown, and Ernie and Melba Schaer. The Schaer`s and Larry Brown were also in the Portland, Oregon group "The King`s Envoy" in the 1970`s.

Here are the links to the Heavenbound tapes that I have posted:
