Fans of late 70's/early 80's smooth Rock should enjoy the beautiful sounds of this compilation by Numero Music Group. WTNG 89.9FM: Solid Bronze compiles the music of a unique era in American music history of compilations created from “Battles of the Bands” that were staged, judged by on-air personalities and regional A&R reps. These competitions resulted in a unique and rare collection of music which has been compiled by Numero Music Group. Get your hands on this limited-edition project released for Record Store Day 2012 while they are available.

Last Record Store Day we went all out and made an epic double album sister compilation to our Boddie Recording Company box set. This year we mellowed out a bit, compiling a smooth LP from the comfort of our company hot tub. No, really.

WTNG was a pirate radio station we launched last Record Store Day, servicing a five mile radius in Chicago with a plethora of Numero weirdness. WTNG 89.9FM: Solid Bronze is an ode to radio station compilation albums of yore, back in the days of when FM jocks stoked the flames of stage acts in their broadcast area with hyped-up talent shows, invaluable airplay, and homegrown LPs stacked with the best efforts of bands not more than a few counties away. Solid Bronze covers all of that ground and then some: smooth rock, AOR, easy glide, hot tub soul, and earnest yacht rock sailing gentle radio waves. Fans of the Dans—Fogelberg, Steely, Seals, and Hill—this is your Numero record.

WTNG 89.9FM: Solid Bronze will be available on CD and LP, with both formats limited to 1000 copies, on April 21st 2012.
