AUGUST CD Recording 2009-2010
Listen to a sample from the CD
In December, 2009, AUGUST returned to the studio to make the “record” that was originally scheduled to be done in 1975. The band was invited to record at World Stage Studios in Burr Ridge, IL, at the suggestion of friend and Ides of March keyboardist, Scott May. AUGUST was extremely fortunate to have at the console Larry Millas, who also is producing the CD with members of AUGUST. Larry has produced numerous television and radio commercials in addition to many hit songs and albums, most notably the multi-million selling gold record from the “Rocky” movies, “Eye of the Tiger”. Joining AUGUST on the song, “Run Back to Mama”, is the composer and original guitarist and vocalist, Jim Peterik, who also wrote “Eye of the Tiger”.
The multi-session recording process was completed in late February, 2010. Mixing and mastering were completed on July 12, 2010, and the CD, Second Time Around, was released, when else, August 27, 2010.
Due to the CD release, the decision was made to remove the 2+ year old demo samples from the band’s website. Sound bites from the new recording will be made available after the release of the new CD, AUGUST.
