Sidewalk

Originally released in 1976 in a pressing of only 100 copies. Liner notes by Doane Perry of Jethro Tull. Sourced from the Master Tapes. Only whispered about by collectors, Sidewalk's sole LP from 1976 was privately issued in a 100 copy run that sellers have asked upward of $10,000 for. Working directly with members of the band, Jackpot Records has lovingly restored the original master tapes to bring this record to private press fans for the first time.

Sidewalk's sound existed somewhere between Steely Dan's relentless jazz-prog shredding, the outdoor festival chug of 11 Chicago and the technical prowess of YES if they backed up a lost 70’s AOR songwriter. At the height of FM Radio rock, Sidewalk combined high-level chops with innovative chord progressions and advanced studio production to create a serious contender in the Cal-Jam festival era. But they tragically disbanded after pressing up this sole LP as the only document of their existence.
