From the Pacific Northwest Bands website -
"The Carmel Watters Band was based out of Seattle and spanned the years from the early eighties to about 1987. Band members came and went, but for about three years from 1984 to 1986 we had a relatively stable lineup that kept us playing from Bellingham to Missoula to Eugene, and all points in between.
The Band was started by Ron and Carmel Watters and generally worked six nights a week for about fifty weeks out of the year. Carmel had a great bluesy voice, so even though we were playing mostly eighties cover tunes, there was a strong R&B undercurrent. She covered everything from Tina Turner to Van Halen, as we worked to introduce our own material.
We eventually attracted the attention of a production company in LA, and Carmel was signed to a record deal. The album was recorded at Indigo Ranch Recording Studio in Malibu, CA with help from hired studio guns such as Roland Bautista of Earth Wind and Fire, and Kenny Gradney from Little Feat. Despite a lot of hard work and creative effort, the album was never released, but we continued to play the club circuit throughout the Northwest.
We spent most of our time in Seattle, Yakima, Spokane and Missoula, but made excursions as far north as Kamloops, Canada and as far south as Amarillo, Texas.
BIDDERS - PLEASE READ THE BELOW
I grade my LPs VERY conservatively and accurately under a bright light. A description of the grading scale is below:
M: MINT - perfect. vinyl is pristine / cover is flawless and/or sealed
M- : just under mint. a very, very slight amount of wear on the cover or inaudible wear on the vinyl (surface wear from age, generally) but is otherwise flawless
VG+: vinyl / cover shows signs minor signs age or wear that are more or less undistinct / inaudible.
VG: vinyl / cover shows some visible wear / age but is overall in very good shape. pops and clicks may be ever so slightly noticeable, but don't effect play or overall listening experience.
VG-: vinyl / cover shows some relatively apparent age but is in overall good shape and still a fine copy to own / play.
G+: vinyl shows some heavy wear but overall sounds decent. cover has some flaws or shows much age
G: vinyl is in pretty rough shape visibly but plays ok. cover shows a lot of age or has some major splits or tears.
G-: vinyl looks / sounds pretty rough. cover has major condition issues such as water damage, large rips, etc
*a double "+" or "-" indicates that the condition is just above or below the neighboring grade
