MAIN LINE RIDERS Shot In The Dark (Remastered)
Our debut album will soon show up on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and all other digital outlets with new cover art (one that is much more appropriate for the sound of the band) and slightly remastered audio, as follows:
1. Dynamics Restoration work completed throughout (the quieter parts now sit properly in the mix...soloed drum & vocal, guitar intros, acoustics, etc).
2. The live song at the end was fully remastered to bring out the vocal and drums, thus helping it feel better along side all the studio tracks.
Here's the new cover art...
I don't expect to move many, if any, of these. The rights recently reverted back to me and I'm re-releasing it digitally simply because I can.
I'm still quite proud of this album. I find it to be a genuine slab of that late 80's sunset strip sound I love so much.

I have the original. I like the new cover better. I liked the album. It has a very raw sound but was lacking in production.
I need to pull it out and give it a spin.

The production, in my view, is very much in line with the LA Guns and Faster Pussycat debut records. It's an unrefined approach that showcases a band's live sound.
I personally feel that we got the songwriting just right for that era as well.

Thank you. I officially put the band to rest in the summer of 2010. I have no plans on resurrecting it. Heck, I sold off the last of my electric gear earlier this year.

I will check it out when it becomes available. Wasn't a huge fan of the audio on Shot In The Dark, so this should be good to try.

The overall sonics are unchanged on all but the final track (Shot In The Dark Live). The difference is in the dynamics as described in the original post. Like the debuts of LA Guns and Faster Pussycat, it's a budget album recorded quickly. If you found nothing to really like about it the first time then I doubt a better cover and dynamics fix is gonna do it for you this time around.

Also...anyone who bought the original can feel free to IM me for a free download of this version.
Honesty rule applies.
iTunes Store quality AAC, 320 Kbps mp3 and FLAC available. I'll be out of town for the next week on business, but will send links upon my return. Until then, I can only send the iTunes Store quality AAC (m4a) files.

I need to check this out. Love the production/sound of the first Faster Pussycat album. In my opinion that's how it should be done for that style of music.

Agreed, I never tire of listening to Faster Pussycat's debut album.

I have this and I like it a lot!
Too bad you don't plan to resurrect it, we need more Christian/Christian friendly music like this.

I have the original and enjoyed seeing y'all live at C'stone. But I'll do my part to support and will see about getting it via iTunes.

I have the original too, and will likely download the updated album from Amazon.

Re: MAIN LINE RIDERS Shot In The Dark (Remastered)
We are indeed okay! We're now all grown up and separated by miles and miles with wives and kids and all that good stuff!
