Notes

CD Reissue + Bonus Tracks Remastered from original tapes
Limited to 500 copies

Heaven and Hell Records head southwestward for Aztec ruins, nuclear testing sites, aliens and the label's latest addition, LEGGESY.
LEGGESY consisted of four strongly molded individual personalities from Albuquerque, New Mexico, whose musical chemistry and high-octane autonomy erupted in attitude-drenched, positive rock-and-roll experience, that electrified audiences with its power rock original anthemic songs and visually stunning bombast of sweat and high energy.

The LEGGESY experience was an ultimate explosion of captivating and thorough entertainment, which received widespread recognition as one of New Mexico’s most powerful entities and voices in original metallic-edged Hard Rock.

As young teenagers, the assembly independently recorded, produced, and marketed an all original nine-song debut released on Halloween 1987 entitled, “LEGGESY,” which instantly sold out its initial 1,000-copy pressing. A second, larger pressing was printed only a couple of months later.

LEGGESY would also make many various personal and musical appearances on both indie and nationally syndicated radio stations, as well as making appearances on various TV shows. They have been feature-showcased and their videos would stay in heavy rotation on several music shows.

LEGGESY would also appear alongside BLACK SABBATH, DEEP PURPLE and ALICE COOPER on the internationally released rock compilation “High-Intensity Discharge” with two tracks—“Lace By Name” and “Custom Made Lover”—released in November 1988. The track “Custom Made Lover” would receive a great amount of airplay on Z-Rock coast-to-coast radio, broadcast out of Dallas. The song was played three times a day on Z-Rock’s “Too New” show. A video of the song was filmed and produced with footage shot using KGGM Channel 13’s (CBS) helicopter of the band performing on the roof of the then Holiday Inn Pyramid building in Albuquerque, NM.
LEGGESY would have two more tracks appear on the compilation album, “Southwest Edge'' released in 1990.

This summer, H&H Records plan to reissue a comprehensive collection, spanning two CDs, including all the original songs from the LEGGESY 1987 self-titled debut release, the compilations they appeared on, and much more. All remastered by Jamie King Audio from the best possible sources. Digital transfer by David Olland at Thin Brown Line in Long Beach, CA.

Both releases are exclusive limited editions of only 500. Each will include an expansive booklet, all-new artwork by Steven Cobb, comprehensive liner notes with plenty of photos, flyers, articles, detailed credits and full lyrics inside.

LEGGESY:
Neil "Gido-Blaster" Gido - Lead bass, vocals
Eddie Perea - Lead vocal, guitar
Paul "Saw" La Pierre & Craig Rasband - Lead guitar, vocals
D.K. Warner & Francis Ruiz - Lead drums, vocals
