Would be cool for this to be floating around. If anyone can find it, it would probably be Bill Roxx or even G/F he seems to have tons of luck locating hard to find stuff.

Here's the compilation I was talking about...

if anyone has it or knows who I can get it, please let me know. 

I will trade you staybrite's soul for it....

When I traded you my soul, you implicitly agreed to a non-disclosure agreement.  You weren't supposed to mention my soul being for sale on a public forum.  I will be sending my collection agent around to your place at midnight to recover my soul.  I suggest you lock up your own soul.  He isn't very discriminating and has a tendency to take any soul that is handy (just see what he did to these poor people, that lady didn't even eat the mousse).

^Classic.

Hey guys, just stumbled upon this myself.  This is Joe, second from the right.  It was nice to see the band pop up on the google web and people speaking positively.  Those were great times and yes Bobby and I still keep in touch.  I'd post a current pic but you wouldn't be impressed.  I'm just a dusty old woodworker and hockey coach living in the Pacific NW.  Thank you for all the kind words.  Maybe, with those encouraging words, Bob and I will get around to doing something again someday.

Welcome to CHM JoDo.

Quite a few of us are old and dusty now JoDo! 
Nice to see you here.

Welcome, Joe.  So what level do you coach?  Peewee? Bantam? Junior?

Hey Guys,
My wife just found this clip on youtube. The quality is pretty bad but gives you a taste of what our stage presence was like. This was Halloween night 1987. We were playing with Guardian and a few other bands. It was called Metal Midnight. My wife and I exchanged phone number and began dating this night. That was 28 years ago. We were married the following August and now still Married with Grand kids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V59_qCSUujY . That's me jumping through the devil face.

I do wish that there was a studio recording of you guys available even if it was just remastered demos.  I'd buy it for sure!

I love to listen to all the old Spectra material.

Cool vid!

Hey All,
This thread has inspired me to release one of our singles in a digital remaster now available on itunes. More to come-

http://itunes.apple.com/album/id1056237046?ls=1&app=itunes

Thanks for the interest and support.

Very cool !  

Cool! Will grab it next time I'm on iTunes later tonight or in the morning.

Awesome to see old classics like Spectra get some good attention these days.  
I came to faith in '89 so I missed out on all the best 80s Christian bands at their height (I only knew about Stryper and Petra).  I've obviously since then caught up with most of them, spent a fortune snagging originals from the 80s, and trading mp3s of the more rare and/or impossible to find ones. 
But just when I think I know of ALL the Christian rock/metal bands of the 80s, I'm STILL discovering new awesome metal bands that played for the Lord back in them gnarly 80s.
Long live Spectra !!

Let me know when the whole project is complete.  Also, let me know when it is on Amazon as well.  I still use my old trusty Zune, and the iTunes software and the Zune software don't seem to like one another.

Ordered! What you should do is get in touch with someone like Roxx Records http://www.roxxproductions.com about releasing it on cd. They love this old stuff and love to make it available again.

I've never heard of Spectra, but that song on iTunes is decent. If there would be a re-release of the old album, I'd buy it.

Hey Alldat,
Here is a link for the song on Amazon-http://www.amazon.com/Lost-and-Lonely/dp/B017MSMF3C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448724899&sr=8-1&keywords=spectra+lost+and+lonely .

We only had a two song demo that was complete from back then. We had started to track some songs but didnt complete them due to budget and other reasons. Joe and I (The two guitar players are in the process of recording a few of the unreleased songs from back then.

Wonder what happened to the other bands on these old flyers? Would love to hear them as well.

If only 2 song EP, it would be most excellent to release a 45 colored vinyl, which ROXX could do.  I'd buy it before the wax could cool off !
