General info
KJHK held a competition called "Quest for Vinyl" for bands that wanted to appear on the compilation.[2] The "Fresh Sounds" series was originally devised by Bill Rich, of Talk Talk magazine,[3] as a way to promote regional bands nationally.[4][5] However, in an interview with the Lawrence Journal-World, execs from several independent record companies cast doubt that such an appearance would be a springboard to greater success for the bands.[6]
The organisers of this volume in the series were Bill Rich (Fresh Sounds), Brad Schwartz (KJHK station manager), Sam Elliot (KJHJ faculty advisor) and Michael Bassin (KJHK entertainment coordinator).[7]
