Info:
Here's a Chicago band with a huge history that intersects several artists/bands. This band started life off as *The Jamestown Massacre* way back in 1967. The groups two leading lights were Vic (V.J) Comforte and Dave Bickler. The band played all over Chicago during 1969-1974, and touched hands with the likes of Jim Peterik, Barry Mraz and Bob De Stocki. The band went through numerous lineup changes, and by 1975, they had changed names to Mariah and settled on the above lineup. Of note is the *Survivor* connection, with Bickler, Sullivan and Peterik all having a hand in the fortunes of the band. By this stage, Mariah decided to move from Chicago to Los Angeles to further their cause, and with a deal in the can with United Artists, their debut album appeared the following year in 1976. If you like acts such as *Emperor*, *Starcastle*, *Doobie Brothers* and *Legs Diamond*, then this beautiful 70's flavored album should move your world.
