LINER NOTES (2024)
|
In August 1979 STYTZ and his band WILD PERFORMANCE went
into Lutz "Long" Meyer's studio in Wedesbüttel to record songs for
their LP "Big City". However, after the test pressings were made, the
record company Jaguar Records closed their doors forever and the album
remained unreleased. The master tapes, photos, artwork, etc. (which
were handed over to the label) never showed up again.
Now, after 45 years, the complete album has been carefully remastered
(from the LP test pressing and a recently discovered audio tape copy in
Stytz’ archives) and is now available as download/streaming.
The album features Charly Schöppner on drums, Andy Dicke on bass, and Mick Baumeister on keyboards.
Many thanks to Phil Shoenfelt (for continuous help and support),
Tonstudio Hambrecht (for digitalizing LP and audio tape), Stereo
Mysterio (for mastering) and Friedel Muders/FUEGO for the great cover artwork, support and the final release of
this album.
