Rock City Angels- Session w/ Brian Robertson 5/13/91 xfer from audio cassette Johnny Depp Thin Lizzy

Time for a palate cleanse- this one is from Anonymous 3’s collection of tapes.
Interesting backstory on this one- they had Johnny Depp as rhythm guitarist before he hit it big with 21 Jump Street in the late 80s. In 1990, the band began recording demos for a second album titled Lost Generation. They recorded some 80 songs, all of which were rejected by Geffen. Frustrated by Geffen’s lack of interest, they went to London and recorded six songs with Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson, which Geffen also declined to support. These are from that 6 song session.
At least one of these tracks was released in 2010, on a compilation called “Rock City Angels- Midnight Confessions”- the first song Shazam’d to that release, but the second song appears unreleased.

Rock City Angels- Unreleased Demos 1980s? xfer from low gen audio cassette Hard Rock Glam

Collections post from Anonymous 3’s box of tapes today. Scott’s stuff is always an adventure. Some things are incredibly rare and possibly one of a kind, and others are commonly circulated shows. It’s up to me to sift through it and figure it out.

This tape had both released music and rarities on the same tape. Those first 10 tracks (all of side A and the first track of side B) were released by the band in 2 volumes of compilations in 2010 and 2018. The last 5 songs appear to be unreleased, except for “Hush Child” and this is a different version. Shazam can’t ID them and the rest of the song titles are not in any of the band’s releases on discogs. Whew. That took some detective work.
