Various - Writing-On-Stone: The Alberta Compilation (1987)


This 1987 compilation brought together bands from both Edmonton and Calgary (Calgary bands marked with * below), and was given a name of a southern Alberta landmark. Highly confusing, but it does give us an excuse to post another track from one of our favourites, Color Me Psycho.

Bands and track listing:

Side One
Euthanasia: "Grub"
Color Me Psycho: "Thirteen is my Lucky Number"*
Broken Smile: "Open Up Your Heart"
Ted Clark 5: "Number Ten Nirvana"*
Disciples of Power: "Aggressor"
Liquid Light: "I'm So Glad About Dyin"*

Side Two
This Fear: "Killing Time"
No Limbo Lasso: "A Part of the Tide"*
Big House: "Nothing to Understand"
th' Legendary Few: "Bedlam for Boris"*
Shadow Project: "Desert Spirit"
Eden's End: "Heaven and Hell"*


Get it here.

Debut Disciples of Power song was later rewritten as Vindicator for the second album. Recorded at CJSR studios in 1987 or so, written/produced by Hart Bachmier. available at iTunes on the new compilation 'The Gospel 1987-2009' with a few other rarities.
This was the first song they put on vinyl.

Hey, thanks for this trip down memory lane!

Any chance you could repost the Writing on Stone Compilation? I NEED to hear Color Me Psycho: "Thirteen is my Lucky Number" again, but I didn't know it 'til now!
