June 13, 2012, 12 years ago
Late BOSTON lead singer BRAD DELP's daughter, Jenna Delp, has posted the following update:
"Secondly, as many of you know, we have spent the past few years working on restoring my Dad’s catalogue of unreleased songs, with the aim of putting them together as an album to release to the public. This has been a MASSIVE undertaking! Many of my Dad’s master tapes were damaged in a flood that took out a good part of his basement. Thanks to the tireless efforts of his good friend Roger Carmody, who spent many months baking the mold off of the tapes (and getting sick in the process!), we’ve managed to salvage a great deal of these recordings and are finally now in the home stretch of this labor of love. The completed album will be a compilation of songs spanning from the early 70s through the 90s, in different genres, featuring Dad alone and with his closest friends and colleagues. It is our goal with this project to let the public hear my Dad as those of us closest to him have always known him. These songs are a glimpse of the man, apart from the band, doing what he was born to do in the purest possible form and I can’t wait for you to hear it!
"To that end, we’ve decided that the perfect way to celebrate Dad’s birthday this year is to give you a little sneak preview of what’s to come! The song (streaming at the Braddelpfoundation.org) is the raw and unmastered version of the upcoming album track 'Alone' which my Dad wrote back in 1973! It’s the oldest recording we have, featuring my Dad along with Roger Carmody and Tom Febonio. Listen carefully for the playful banter at the beginning between Dad and Roger, and the tiny little “chirp” at the very end, which Roger tells me was actually Dad doing his best impression of a parakeet! Classic Brad!"
