Extra NOTES :
In 1988 Blair, then the lead guitarist for East Coast rock trio
RUN 21, recorded and mixed “The First Noel” at Courtlen Studios
in Hanson, MA, Extreme’s home base studio.
The recording utilized cassette, 2” and 1/4” analog tape, along
with early computer-automated mixing, yet was never officially
released.
Thirty years later, Blair, now the longest-tenured lead
guitarist for W.A.S.P., teams up with Kulick, arguably KISS’s
consummate former lead guitarist, who in 2018 recorded an
“unplugged-style” magical counter-melody to Blair’s long-lost
analog masterpiece.
Bruce Kulick, Mike Dalager and Douglas Blair worked together on
the
HP
Lovecraft Rock Opera project "Dreams
in the Witch House"(from
this same LA session new tracks were cut!!).
