[to top] Band Memoirs

We recorded a bunch of songs at Full Moon Studios in 1994 but shelved the entire project. This was a low time for the band. In fact, many speculated that the disaster of that failed session was the final nail and the end of The Blanks. (Read my notes on the Full Moon Sessions for more on that debacle.) I reworked the vocals on a few of tracks from the Full Moon Studios recordings and released them on this Blanks Enterprises various artists compilation. This contribution to a minor release may very well have saved the band. It boosted our attitude toward these songs and kept things moving.

You may notice that the song “Minnesota” is listed twice. There are two slightly different versions offered on this release.
