Hi
I got this from Scott Mathews:
This Real Gone release will have power pop fans squealing with delight!
Named after a breed of hog known for being great producers with oversized
ears and genitalia, the Durocs were the brainchild of Scott Mathews and Ron
Nagle, each of whom came to the project with an impressive pedigree. Mathews
had played at the Fillmore with Elvin Bishop at the age of 15, formed a band
(Ice) with future Journey lead singer Steve Perry, and, with the guidance of
music industry legends Jack Nitszche and David Rubinson, was one of the
music industry’s most sought-after session men and producers. Nagle,
meanwhile, had been the main singer-songwriter and keyboard player in the
Mystery Trend and had released a cult classic solo album produced by
Nitszche, Bad Rice. Together, the two wrote songs for legendary artists that
sold in the millions and released their own album in 1979 that received a
5-star rating in Rolling Stone and scored some European hits—then promptly
proceeded to torpedo their career by, as legend has it, breaking into a
Capitol Records sales meeting with midgets blasting fanfare trumpets and
squealing pigs running through the legs of record executives.
Now, for the first time EVER, and with the full cooperation of Mathews and
Nagle, this legendary album is being reissued on CD with no less than eight
unreleased “bone us” tracks, complete with liner notes penned by Gene
Sculatti featuring quotes from the duo and pictures from their private
archives. In addition, Real Gone is manufacturing a 500-unit,
limited-edition vinyl pressing in an appropriately porcine shade of pink
with the original album packaging intact. Power pop fans—it’s time to bring
home the bacon.
Best
Robert
