The Call - The Lost Tapes (2024)

New 2024 studio album from The Call. The Call recorded “Beaten at Your Own Game,” “Can't Find Love,” and “Christine” ca. 1978-1980, during a time in which the band called themselves Airtight and, later, Motion Pictures, and before the band cut their first deal with Polygram. “Welcome to My World” is an outtake from 1986's Into the Woods sessions.

The band submitted the demo “Right Between the Eyes” for the soundtrack of the 1991 motion picture Point Break. The remaining six songs are ca. 1991-1993 after The Call recorded the Live under the Red Moon album (1990). “A Beautiful Lie” features Garth Hudson of The Band along with Danny Timms and the late Tommy Spurlock.

Nearly lost to the sands of time, all of these songs remained unfinished until Jim Goodwin, Tom Ferrier, Scott Musick, and Ralph Patlan returned to the studio in 2023 to add missing tracks. These fully completed versions of previously unreleased songs that you now hold in your hands feature Michael Been's original lead vocals.
