Synopsis

Product Description
From 1978-1981 the Titan label issued only eight records, but over the years their tiny catalog has crawled to the top of power-pop want lists worldwide and appeared on scads of bootleg cassettes, building a legacy to rival L.A. s Bomp or New York s Ork. Located in fly-over country, Titan was forced to start their own scene, import their own skinny ties, and scour Missouri for their own talent. Their midwest AM bubblegum roots are apparent in the likes of Gary Charlson, the Secrets*, Arlis!, Gems, Millionaire At Midnight, the Boys, J.P. McClain & the Intruders, Bobby Sky, and Scott McCarl, but Titan was clearly influenced by the glam-punk spit being hocked from the 100 Club stage.

30 years since they meekly flopped out their first 7 single, Kansas City s Titan Records finally returns to record bins everywhere in a deluxe two-disc retrospective with comprehensive 40-page booklet.

Gems from the Vault
Tony Adams | Glasgow, Scotland | 11/21/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Another fine release from the numero group, this neat collection compiles tunes from the 8 or 9 signess the small midwest lable Titan had in their stable from their short lived record lable life ('78 - '81). It's an ecceptionally eclectic mix staying in firm power pop territory but occasionally flitting between glam, 60's psychedlia and 50's rock n roll. Filled with obscure gems this album is a must for any power pop fan and a great companion piece to numero's other fantastic power pop rarities compilation Yellow Pills: Prefill. Yellow Pills: Prefill Numero 004"
