Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
"Obscurities" reveals never-before-heard Orleans studio recordings ... 13 previously unheard tracks from as long ago as 1977 to as recently as 2008!

1/3 of these are well-produced, highly fleshed-out "demos" (demonstration recordings) of songs that did NOT wind up on any Orleans album. That doesn't mean they're not great tunes ... it just means that, at the time, we had too much material and something had to give ... so these tunes got passed over. Another 1/3 of these tune demos DID make it to Orleans albums ... after they were recut as "masters". The last 1/3 of this collection were done for Larry's and my solo projects

about

If you're one of those Orleans fans who proudly proclaims, "I've got everything those guys ever did!" ... or even if you're not ... get ready for a treat ---
Just when you thought we must have surely run out of archives to plunder for another Orleans CD, we dug down deep for whatever we might be overlooking ... and came up with this collection of Obscurities.

Unlike our Still the One: Live - 30th Anniversary Retrospective, which mined it's gems from our personal vaults of concert performances, Obscurities gets its juice from our secret stash of ALL STUDIO CUTS!

The digital downloads album includes ALL of the CD cover, insert and tray card liner notes and credits as downloadable jpg photo files.
