Song 2 of 100
Nov. 23rd, 2012 08:26 pm'For America' by Red Box.
From the album 'The Circle and the Square'. You know I said that when I was young I had this weird thing about only liking instrumentals? Well, this is the first album with actual lyrics I ever got. Christmas present in 1986. Which is also the same Christmas I got a personal stereo (not a Sony Walkman, but similar) and a whole bunch of Traveller stuff (including Alien Module 5: Droyne, hence the userpic). I have a distinct memory of spending some part of Christmas Day listening to this album on my new personal stereo while reading about the Ancients...
Crap video though.
Final piece of Red Box trivia. If wikipedia is to be believed, Anthony ' Gold Blend' / 'Buffy' Head provides backing vocals on this album. That would pre-date the Gold Blend ads I think.
