Mark Baker - The Future Still Ain't What It Used To Be (2CD)

Two years ago, MelodicRock Records gave songwriter Mark Baker a chance to compile some of his best songwriter demos onto a release under his own name for the first time. Now under the new label name MelodicRock Classics, its time to deliver another Volume of tracks, giving fans the chance to own the entire collection of Mark Baker melodic rock demos. Sharing a similar name, the new release ‘The Future Still Ain’t What It Used To Be’ pays homage to the first album, sharing the epic title track ‘The Future Ain’t What It Used To Be’ over both releases. However, on the new release, the song is sung by the great Caryl Mack Parker. The rest of the album consists of fresh unreleased material, but some of the songs may still sound familiar. The album contains an amazing original Signal demo for the Van Stephenson/Mark Baker co-write Wake Up You Little Fool; also a David Roberts sung demo of the Boulevard track In The Twilight; An Aina sung version of the James Christian track ‘No Pleasure Without Pain’ and more. But wait...there’s more! While working on compiling the material for this release, several tracks were uncovered that didn’t fit the normal audio quality level required of an official release. The masters just couldn’t be uncovered. But the songs are still great and deserve some form of preservation. ALL TRACKS featured on both CDs have once again been loving remastered by JK Northrup at Alien 11:11 Studios. 500 units will be pressed as a Double CD featuring a bonus ‘B Disc’ of tracks featuring the awesme vocalists Marcie Free, Lee Aaron, Gary O, Aina, David Roberts & more...
