In 1992, Memphis, Tennessee's ROXY BLUE released their one and only album, Want Some?, on Geffen Records. The 12-track affair was produced by Mike Clink, who helmed GUNS N' ROSES' Appetite For Destruction; and featured a guest appearance from WARRANT's Jani Lane. Then came grunge...

Now, 20 years later, FnA Records has partnered with Roxy Blue to raid the vaults and pull out all the unreleased studio recordings, demos, B-sides, rarities, and live tracks. This has resulted in three albums of never before released material.

Keep in mind that these original recordings were made on tape nearly two decades ago and some of them have deteriorated over time. The band and FnA Records did their absolute best with pain-staking efforts to restore the recordings to as close to their natural state as possible.

The first album is titled Want Some More, the artwork and tracklisting are as follows:

'Bad To The Bullet'

'Already Gone'

'Set Me Free'

'Wasted Time'

'You'

'If I Could'

'Moving On'

'Black Sky'

'Show Me'

'Can't Take It'

'Just Enuff'

'Love's Gotta Hold On Me' (demo)

'Times Are Changin' (demo)

'Rock-a-Bye Baby' (demo)

'Rob The Cradle' (live)

The recordings on Want Some More are demos of songs that were to be for Roxy Blue’s sophomore release.

The second album is titled Stripped, the artwork and tracklisting are as follows:

'Times Are Changin' (version 432)

'Sister Sister'

'Nobody Knows'

'We Can Work It Out'

'Merry Go Down'

'Mississippi Moon'

'Take The Night With You'

'Walkin, Talkin'

'Times Are Changin' (version 879)

'Blind By Belief'

'Mr. Jones'

'Crusin'

'Another Rose In The Garden'

The recordings on Stripped are classics and unreleased tracks, all stripped down to the barebones; much like the MTV unplugged days.

The third album is titled Live At Nightmoves, the artwork and tracklisting are as follows:

'Bad To The Bullet'

'Can't Take It'

'All Tied Up'

'Rob The Cradle'

'Talk Of The Town'

'Just Enuff'

'Outta Control'

'Too Hot To Handle'

'Times Are Changin'

'Main Attraction'

'Way Down In Dixie'

'Rock-A-Bye Baby'

'Thunderbird'

The recordings on Live At Nightmoves represent a special time in the band's career. This was the last show before the band got signed and went off to Los Angeles to make the classic Want Some album. The energy was high, the set was tight, and the fans were just plain crazy. Relive a moment in time when one of the most under-rated hair bands in history ruled the Memphis scene.

Pre-orders for each of the new Roxy Blue releases can be placed now at FnARecords.net, with regular vesions, fan packs and super fan packs available.
