Incredible thing that this was released! After decades locked in the vaults (due to an unpaid bill!), Chrome fans are treated to LOST TRACKS from the early days of Chrome, 1979 through 1980. This stuff was remastered beautifully and brought to life through a campaign started by Helios Creed. Thanks to the fans, we were able to get these songs out, pressed on vinyl and cd and made available! You can totally hear sounds from Half Machine Lip Moves and Red Exposure in here, even a tad of Blood On The Moon I think with the last track "Sunset." Incredible collection of early Chrome songs, a real thing of beauty!


Damon Edge - keys, synthesizer, drums, moog effects, tambourine
Helios Creed - guitar, bass, vocals, keys, noise wackiness

'All tracks were originally engineered by Oliver DiCicco at Mobius Music Recordings. Final mixing was completed by Helios Creed and Jay Tausig at Studio Lemuria and all tracks were mastered by Jay Tausig. All tracks were written and composed, produced and performed by Damon Edge and Helios Creed except Morrison written by Damon Edge and Anything, Looking for Your Door, Sound & Light, Sub Machine and The Rain which were written by Helios Creed.'

The DOUBLE vinyl came in either black, orange or purple.... Mine arrived with what I wanted luckily - PURPLE vinyl for this baby. Awesome package, great liner notes from Helios.
