Spectre (47)

SPECTRE was a band from Melbourne, Florida that began in 1978, and got its record deal in 1982. Producer John Etchells was selected by bandleader Greg (Roberts) Vadimsky, choosing from a list of five top-flight producers, because Greg knew Etchells' previous work with Queen and other English bands. THIS IS SPECTRE was recorded at Bee Jay Recording Studios in Orlando Florida and later remixed at J.A.M. Recording Ltd in London, which Etchells utilized as one of his favorite "homebases" for recording. SPECTRE, on the heels of this album, went on to win the 1982 Musexpo award for "Best Showcase Performance".
