ROXY BLUE – Westwood One In Concert [The Troubadour] (1992 Promo CD only) *Rare*

This one was requested long time ago, a rarity much sought after by collectors: US hard rockers ROXY BLUE “Westwood One In Concert” – Live at The Troubadour. This show was a 1992 broadcast and as happened with many bands from the era, Westwood One pressed some limited copies on CD.
This recording is of special interest because ROXY BLUE was a real beast live, and there isn’t tapes / bootlegs from the band at their peak when they where touring presenting debut album ‘Want Some?’.
Soon after, grunge took the US scene and bands like ROXY BLUE didn’t found venues to play regularly. Ironically, this Westwood One pressing – they did a few CD copies for archival purposes – is a double disc with the other being a Nirvana concert…
Sound quality is very good, and shows ROXY BLUE rocking hard, a band that unfortunately arrived too late into the scene. A collectors item.

ROXY BLUE – Want Some? [Japan HR/HM 1000 Vol.4 series] (2022) HQ

As part of the 2022 HR-HM 1000 Vol.4 series there’s ROXY BLUE‘s kicking second 1992’s album ”Want Some?”, for years out of print.
History tells that ROXY BLUE was discovered by WARRANT singer Jani Lane, who helped the guys to get a record deal. Jani did some backing vocals here (as well as the greats Jimi Jamison and Tommy Funderburk) so it’s no surprise that ROXY BLUE sounds a lot like WARRANT or TRIXTER, however the Roxy’s were pretty unique, with a bluesy foundation and a bit of an early VAN HALEN / SKID ROW edge.
“Want Some?” is a killer collection of catchy…
