Before & After:
Sound samples

Tora Tora – Before & After – is a “New” Collection of “Old” Recordings. Before & After is comprised of 10 tracks . The first 5 tracks are from the “VERY LIMITED” cassette-only release of To Rock To Roll. (See the original album art on the inside of this album). The sixth track is the very original recorded version of Walkin’ Shoes which would eventually wind up on Surprise Attack and be a stand out track and video. The remaining four tracks are demos that were written for the unreleased third album and never turned into A&M records. Here’s your chance to see how Tora Tora was progressing as the music industry was taking a very new direction. Onde again, FnA Records went in and cleaned up a lot of the stray noises that can occur when recording demos…and the outcome is an extremely listenable project. On top of that, the listener gets to hear some AMAZING Tora Tora tunes that were never available anywhere else until now. Be sure to check out the other rare recordings being released through FnA Records on Tora Tora. In trying to stay with the hugely succesful album cover of the bomber girl that donned the Surprise Attack album cover, FnA Records has recruited some of the top artists to design its artwork for the new Tora Tora releases.

Sound samples

Tora Tora Miss B. Havin’ (The Unreleased Wild America Recordings) – is a “New” Collection of “Old” Recordings. Miss B. Havin’ is comprised of 13 tracks that were demos written for the Wild America album. These are the tracks that did not make the album. However, in our humble opinion, some of these tracks should’ve been definite inclusions on Wild America. The quality varies as these were only demos, but FnA Records went in and cleaned up a lot of the stray noises that can occur when recording demos…and the outcome is a very listenable project. On top of that, the listener gets to hear some AMAZING Tora Tora tunes that were never available anywhere else until now.
