I don’t know anyone in or connected to the band. I just find rare stuff and upload it. Glad you found the album here!

@TheNifitss Glad you found my channel! “Lostwave” like what you mentioned isn’t in my wheelhouse, but you may want to ask somewhere like LostwaveFinder at youtube.com/@lostwavefinder587?si=rx-MGzwwLjOCJcYf Best of luck!

@@Dreamofthe90s Thanks man, I really like the obscure music you got in your channel though, they're pretty cool!

@nanodutler Here you go. Enjoy! www.mediafire.com/folder/dxkyd6xgmzd2a/Switch+Records+1992-1997+-+The+Singles

@strangeledplanet9576 Discogs entry is here with lots of credits: www.discogs.com/release/5729447-Brown-Betty-Thriller There's an AllMusic review at www.allmusic.com/album/release/thriller-mr0000366124 I also found this old article abour bands in Bloomington, Indiana (where they were from) which mentions them: chicagoreader.com/news-politics/bloomington-rock-is-something-happening-here/

@ajh229 Glad you found it! Admittedly I don’t have the CD of the Blind Rage album. I think I found out about it from some random website and then I was able to locate it on Soulseek. Most of my uploads do come from CDs I own, though.

@@Dreamofthe90s I don’t want you do give away your secrets too much, but is there a method to your CD buying that yields some of these more obscure but high quality finds?

@@ajh229 I happen to be located in what I think is a very good area for finding good used CDs, the Triangle region of North Carolina (Chapel Hill, Durham, and Raleigh). Chapel Hill, where I am, is especially a college town with University of North Carolina just down the road, and Duke University, NC State University, etc. not far away. So there are a good number of record stores and thrift stores, even though some have closed or stopped carrying CDs in recent years. This area also has a rich musical history of its own, with a lot of great indie rock and other music coming from the area especially in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. As for my buying methods, what helps a lot is knowing what to filter out, so I'm not pulling out lots of better-known releases that are already going to be available online. The more writing you see on the CD spine besides the artist and album name, the more likely it's associated with a bigger label, or even a major label. You get to know the major label logos and their coding by sight after awhile. An obscure release may be on some tiny label, or it may be self-released, but there's a much greater chance of that when you see minimal writing. This Eclypse EP for example just has the word "Eclypse" on the spine. Things like fonts and design can be a giveaway of release era too, which you'll notice with practice. Aside from this, I look for unusual band and album names, track lists, lyrics, and album art, something where there seems to be a little thought behind it, though I've also found quite ordinary looking stuff that just happens to be obscure and surprisingly good. I work a 9 to 5, but I have spent a lot of free time over the years at these thrift stores, record stores, CD / record shows, and library sales, so I've also just developed a feel for what will be a good pick. It's always a gamble and I certainly make mistakes, whether in the album turning out to be not good, or just that I didn't research enough and it can already be streamed. But since I mainly buy CDs that are around 50 cents to $2 apiece (maybe up to $3 to $5 or so if it's a record store, but I get more restrained there because it adds up otherwise), there isn't a lot of downside to a bad pick. It takes time, practice, and dedication, and also being willing to walk away from places empty-handed a lot. I'd say if you're in a good college town or near a major metro, this stuff is probably lurking in decent quantities, given enough time and energy.

@christianbravo2110 Here's a download link: www.mediafire.com/folder/hlcom3vafwdsl/Einstein For this one I'd refer you back to Discogs at www.discogs.com/release/12057658-Einstein-Einstein-Won. They released a second album, Einstein Two, in 2002 (the one I uploaded is called Einstein Won in some listings, but my copy just has the word Einstein, though there was another release of the album on a different label which possibly lists the name that way on the spine). One of the Amazon reviews for that album notes that they toured with and were managed by the same company as Dream Theatre.

@christianbravo2110 Here's a download link: www.mediafire.com/folder/7i2ahvdh168xh/API From the liner notes: Ellis: vocal/guitar Steven Ranger: guitar/vocals Grog Roberts: bass/vocals Sweet Jimmy: drums/vocals Produced by James Paul and API at The Rogue Cover by Chris Jackson / James Pollock chez Swamp A contact address in Toronto, Canada is given, c/o Rogue Folk Productions. I have not been able to find any outside info on them. However, I must include their instructions in the liner notes: "Don't even bother playing this quietly. Don't even bother." ;-)

@christianbravo2110 Here's a download link: www.mediafire.com/folder/95z76k5nrgtm9/Eclypse I found this one, along with some others I've uploaded and more I have yet to upload, while visiting family in my hometown in south Florida earlier this summer. From the liner notes: Steve Walbroehl: Vocals, Lead Guitar Todd Rothermel: Drums Chris Kowalski: Bass Guitar Keith Labell: Rhythm Guitar Recorded at Radar Recording Studios, North Miami Beach, Florida Engineered and mixed by J.T. Eclypse logo by Steve Walbroehl Produced by Eclypse Going by the band photo and acknowledgments, these guys were very young, probably in high school. One of them is wearing a Machine Head - Burn My Eyes shirt (which album the band is now celebrating the 30th anniversary for, by releasing some early 1992-1993 recordings preceding that album) and another is wearing a Pantera - Far Beyond Driven shirt. A third is wearing possibly another band shirt but I cannot identify it. I haven't found any other information.
