By Frédéric P. Slama

But of course this book is not limited only to this period of time and you'll be surely amazed by some releases from the 70's and the 90's that captured that special Aor L.A. sound we all love so much.With forewords by Robbie Buchanan, Bruce Gaitsch, Greg Mathieson & Paul Nye, this book contains some of the forgotten jewels that helped create the classic Aor / Westcoast sound. Some of them have been recently reissued on CD, and others are still quite hard to find and only available on LP, like the Private Pressings from that time directly issued in limited editions by the artists themselves. These records were always high class and as good as the classic Aor bands like Pages, Sneaker, Player, Airplay and many others. A new logo for "Private Pressings" has been created and added next to each entry.Once again a highly selective choice has been made for your listening pleasure. No compromise. All albums presented here are rated at least 15/20 by collectors around the world, and many are close to the perfect note of 20/20 !The Westcoast Bible 5 is in fact a follow-up to the Westcoast Bible 1 - 250 rare Aor Masterpieces - edited in 2017.
