Trash Company - Earle Hotel Tapes

[Peoples Potential Unlimited, Steady Sounds Records 2012]

I LIKE ELECTRA GLIDE. Very cool and damaged collection of underheard demo cassettes.

'Max Monroe has spent the last three decades making music. This 
collection focuses on a specific period from his prolific and widely
 varied output, a time when Monroe was diligently mailing demo
cassettes to record labels in the hopes of making it as a songwriter. 
One such tape, sent to Capitol Records in the early 90's, garnered
 this curt response from then President of the R&B Division, Joy
Bailey: "Some music was never meant to be heard." In hind sight, the 
odds were more than stacked against Max and his songs, but there is
something undeniable about these recordings, starkly honest, deeply
personal, yet demanding attention. The story behind these tapes is one 
of conviction and persistence in the face of rejection and
indifference. It is time for this music to be heard."
