More like the cassette releases of the 1980s - as you stated - for hardcore fans!Purple Peak Recordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735592038872524224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782215816939234905.post-70709308610738377152013-11-02T21:59:22.459-05:002013-11-02T21:59:22.459-05:00Shotgun is the precursor to the 1980 Dallas band V...Shotgun is the precursor to the 1980 Dallas band VISION which did have a female singer, however Shotgun did not. They played an amped up urban style blues rock which, stylistically speaking, is not too far from the sounds of bands like Led Zeppelin, James Gang, Leafhound, The Faces, and such. The recordings date from between 1974 and 1976. The music was taken from original multi track master tapes and sounds phenomenal. ShroomAngel made small quantities of limited edition CD-R's of music that was never meant for actual production on CD or LP, it was for hardcore fans only. The idea was that it had to be better than the stuff never being made available at all, but there had to be a compromise since it would never have sold enough to justify the costs of doing a real production. ShroomAngel never produced "bootlegs", all releases including ltd editions were authorized releases. We hope you will continue to support the work we do to make this lost archival music available.ShroomAngel Recordsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782215816939234905.post-43862579795164999842013-10-24T12:04:19.987-05:002013-10-24T12:04:19.987-05:00Yes, they do and they always have.

However, what you're referring to is the limited edition CD-R's they put out later in their career (before just recently being resuscitated). To me, those were more like the cassette releases you would see in the 80s. I never bought them. I try to avoid CD-R's in general except as a backup storage unit.<br /><br />Thanks for the question! Probably others had the same one.Purple Peak Recordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735592038872524224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782215816939234905.post-33076940163648299612013-10-23T22:07:04.893-05:002013-10-23T22:07:04.893-05:00Does Shroom Angel make proper cds?

Makes me kinda reluctant to buy any of their new releases...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
