Rick - Where is the band from? I’ve managed to track down a few l obscure bands by making inquiries of the local record stores from where they came from. I also put up the music on YouTube and got comments from people who has seen the band play. I even managed to trace one the band members, in one case. I.e. this album, which someone found for me in a thrift store in Texas:
