Description
Constellation
"Same"
Condition: VG++ disc/ G+ cover
Label: CD 1590
Additional info: Strong 1978 Tennessee hard rock LP, aside from a ballad or two it's an Aerosmith/ACDC derived effort, consistent, loud and hook-laden. Disc is clean but spine is a mess with damage in several places. Disc has a slight storage warp that doesn't affect play. Acid archives says
Originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee, the band featured a potential superstar in the form of 14 year old singer/guitarist Punkin Crye and brothers Buster and Mike Visage (bass and drums respectively). The trio attracted a loyal following on the local club scene, eventually capturing the attention of the small Tennessee-based Pyramid label, which signed them to a recording contract and financed their self-titled 1978 debut. Co-produced by Jack Bryson, Cathy Dover, Jim Stabile and the band, "Constellation" is a pretty amazing effort; even more so given creative mainstay Crye wasn't even old enough to legally play in a nightclub. In addition to handling lead vocals (he sure didn't sound like a 14 year old) and lead guitar, Crye wrote or co-wrote all nine tracks. Exemplified by tracks such as the blazing opener '8'Oclock Monday', 'There's Talk' and 'Sell Out' the trio's take-no-prisoners brand of hard rock certainly won't appeal to everyone, but at least to out ears the LP's got more hooks and heart than a truck load of Slayer releases. Among the highlights were the sweet and atypical ballad 'Little Things' and the chugging rocker 'Always Be the Same'.
