Maglio, Roger
Songs From The Rocks
This release takes us back to the early beginnings of the Gear Fab Label in 1986. GF101 was Gear Fab's first release: a 45 picture jacket by founder Roger Maglio's cover band The Borrowed Times, 'Walk Away Rene' b/w 'Tobacco Road.' GF102, another picture jacket 45, contained two tracks from 'Songs From The Rocks': 'A Cold Day In December,' on 9 December, 1980, one day after the assignation of John Lennon, b/w 'Flower Child.' GF103 was a full length LP containing 9 tracks, 8 original compositions and one cover. Roger plays all the instruments on the album, which feature some nice heavy organ, fuzz guitar and string arrangements, as well as a surf tune about the beaches of Long Island back in the 1960s.
