I'm the guy who spent $100 to get it. Totally amazing to my ears.
I like the first side. The second is less interesting at least to me.
I personally know one of the band members from Polaris Project. He is a very young Michael Patrick of Canada. Michael Patrick had his own band during the 1980's called The Michael Patrick Band. He had a small hit with "Welcome To My Life" in 1988 from his "Tongue N Groove" CD.
Some of the songs from the Polaris Project were re-done under The Michael Patrick Band 1988 "Tongue N Groove" CD,such as:
Victim Of Circumstances
When It's Over
Ain't That A Shame
Devil In The Night
I made a few videos for Youtube of a few of these songs. Just look for The Michael Patrick Band when searching.
I myself have a few sealed mint Polaris Project LP records that I got from Michael Patrick himself. I will be listing them on Ebay soon.
I forget to mention that this Polaris Project album came out in 1979.
Bit of trivia::
Michael Patrick also mentioned to me that he did a cover of The Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated" song on this Polaris Project album. Michael told me that he knew The Ramones at the time and gave them a copy of this album. Michael said a few weeks later,Johnny and Joey said the "I Wanna Be Sedated" cover was cool and they approved of it.....BUT dont do it again....hahaha
The label of the record says 1981 - maybe it was recorded in 1979 and not released until 1981? I don't remember a Ramones cover on the LP - I'll need to go back and listen again??
Wow, I was the keyboard player! I am so surprised to see this I loved being in that band then we created a new band with different members called Craze. I had my Hammond B3 at that time. Great memories!
