Our Back Pages

By David Farrell

Today's Back Pages first take us to Attic Records circa 1983 with members of Teenage Head flanked left to right by Attic principals' Al Mair and Tom Williams. Unsurprisingly, front and centre is the band's manager of the time, the late Jack Morrow. The occasion is a platinum presentation to the boys for successfully selling 100,000 LPs of Frantic City in the market. The classic album included such notables as Somethin' On My Mind, Let's Shake, Infected, and Disgusteen.


The second pic today was taken in 1991, featuring CHUM GM Jim Waters with CARAS President Peter Steinmetz on the occasion of the broadcaster donating $10K as the first of a five-year patronship of the CARAS Academic Support Fund.
