Special Thanks: Steve Rabinowitz, Joan Rosen, Dave La Russa, Scott Garber, Lee Joseph, Steve English, Jack Green, Al Perry and KLPX for allowing me to expose all this great music to the masses.

As a long time supporter of original music, in the Newsreal for the past 10 years and on Virgin Vynyl program for the past year and a half, I give you now a compilation of Tucson's finest.
The past two years have been a ripe time here in the desert for some musicians to fearlessly record their own ideas of what (their) music should be.
These very bands and solo performers that I've chosen deserve not only mine and your thanks - but - hopefully will continue to be individual regardless of what form of directional change their musical careers take.
"Sunday Was Yesterday" is a limited edition documentary of the years 1981 - 1983 in Tucson, Arizona focusing on a handful of persons who made it happen.
