LITTLE AMERICA
ANTHOLOGY

MelodicRock Classics is thrilled to partner with LITTLE AMERICA, one of the label’s favourite American rock acts of the late 80s, to deliver a career spanning release simply titled ‘Anthology’.

Featuring all the songs from their two acclaimed studio albums, the set also includes a whole range of previously unreleased tracks - several live tracks from the band’s first tour; 3 Alt-Versions of tracks from the debut and a handful of unreleased tracks from the band’s second album recording sessions.

Little America, a four-piece group from Los Angeles, cranked out two of the best AOR albums of the eighties: The self-titled “Little America”, which had the top-ten hit “Walk On Fire”, and their second album, “Fairgrounds”, which also yielded a top-ten track “Where Were You”.
Signed to Geffen in late 1985, the band began recording in the spring of 1986, and released “Little America” in February of 1987.

“Little America” sold nearly 100,000 units. The band was particularly big in the Midwest, and caused quite a stir in Dallas, thanks to Little America’s biggest fan, KTXQ’s Redbeard.
The second album was not to fare as well. Though the material was as strong (the band felt) as the tracks on the first album, things were starting to unravel..

When Geffen was sold to MCA in the early 90’s, much of the Geffen catalogue never got re-released.
