Some of the best moments of being a kid in the early 80s was listening to CFNY in the night time and leaving my tape recorder in Record mode to tape a few hours of music between midnight and 4am. A lot of cool music was played at that time.

Worked the night shift at the Soya mills in Toronto and CFNY got me through each night. Then Pete snd Geets came on after the night show and were funny. Felt lucky we had a radio station like that to listen too. They played my kind of music that you wouldn’t hear anywhere else.

I was the drama spoken word producer at our university radio station and we got all the new and strange stuff every month and we played it. BB Gabor's record came in and we thought, this is ground breaking. Musically. We weren't sure culturally how far it would go. But we were right, his sound went everywhere. Poor guy, he new made the dollars from his ground breaking work. This Smiths had huge hits based on his innovations.

I had a chance to hang out a few times with Dave Stone and Gabor in a North Vancouver studio while they were recording demos for a third album in 1984. It was really impressive watching those two talented guys at work. Later on a couple of my friends went along with them to Todd Rundgren's studio in New York state where the final tracks were recorded. Sadly, the album was never released.

CFNY was an excellent station back then. I got introduced to a lot of great artists in different genres through that show that I think was called "eclectic vision". I used to tape stuff off of there as well on my old reel to reel.

Keyboardist David Stone, who previously played with Canadian 70's progressive rock band Symphonic Slam was also a member of BB Gabor's band. David also replaced Tony Carey on keyboards in Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow in 1977, appearing on the "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll" album.

@ripporter I don't think it was ever released, but that sounds like it could be it. I knew Gabor in '85 and heard the unmastered tracks when he got back from Rundgren's Bearsville studios. All I remember is one song with the lyric "They say that love's ephemeral, I don't mind. Oooh, that may be true, ...but I'll still take love, ...anytime." He also had a recording of The Tubes doing one of his songs. They had been doing sessions at Bearsville at the time he was there.

It's really beautiful - Ralph said that he wasn't sure if it was one that Rundgren produced - although it was on a cassette tape that B.B. Gabor's widow had that had that was marked "Produced by Todd Rundgren".
