BLUE ASH - THE ALTERNATE AROUND...AGAIN
A few years before the official release of the Blue Ash demos, some tapes were changing hands through some unofficial channels. Most of them surfaced on the official Not Lame release "Around...Again" in full stereo and high quality. But a few of those demos weren't included on it (such as "Everywhere I Go" or the famous "A Million Miles Away" which was recorded by Stiv Bators on his Bomp album). So the overall sound quality of the songs featured here might vary from excellent to average, but the historic value is huge.
Also noteworthy is the reissue of the first and classic album "No More, No Less" available through Not Lame, Kool Kat or any other record store.
Special note: I got the demos a few months ago courtesy of a very impressive (trust me) power pop fan. I revamped the original "Around...Again" artwork in order to post them here on PPC.

Will always have a soft spot for Blue Ash, since their manager bought 25 copies of the fanzine I published. The hook? the review of the then-current first album, written as part of a series on Midwestern bands.
whats the password for opening this file ??
Thanks for the great site. It has been fun rediscovering some of these bands and learning about others I knew nothing about. It is obvious that you are spending a lot of time doing this. I for one appreciate it.
