08 - Unknown Artists - Unknown tune ( instrumental )

You sure it is an actual album with various artists or just a mix cd made up by someone? I couldn't find it anywhere man.

Yes it's a Vinyl LP.
I rip the vinyl to MP3 myself using a Lenco USB turntable with the Audacity program that came with it.
One thing I not sure about. Track 07 - Deep Purple - Child in time.
I not sure if this is Deep Purple singing it, it sounds a bit different from other versions I listen to on the internet.
Apart from some LP numbers in the album runoff there no way to ID this album as it only got white blank labels on both sides, original LP cover was not with it when my friend bought it from a junk shop here in New Zealand about 5 years ago.

The album might be a radio station promo, imo. Some record labels would send compilation promo albums to several radio stations in years past. I don't know if some or perhaps any record labels continue that practice today, but some of the promo albums that were sent to radio stations both were compilation styles, and also at times were white, or blank labels, that may have radio station names on the album, labels or possibly on the record cover. Some promo albums may've had different bands that were possibly all on the same record label, or might have been with other companies. One other feature of promo albums were live versions to be played on radio stations to also promote a bands upcoming tour, especially if that band were going to be playing in a local town or city.

Promo albums can be difficult to obtain more specific info, but if there's a local radio station you can check with, that may be a good place to start, imo. :)

:cheers:

I'm very familiar with track 8. That's "Blue Wind" by Jeff Beck.
Track 10 is "Smacks of Euphoric Hysteria" by Brand X.

That version of "Child in Time" is from a 1976 Ian Gillan solo album called "Child In Time".

A big thank you to all who responded to my thead and help me ID this promo album.
exspecially you RAINDOG.:bow: Couldn't have done it without your knowledge.
Jeff Beck is the only artists I recognized among the 4 unknown tracks.
I did suspect Ian Gillian on Child in time, but wasn't quite sure.

A big thank you again to all.:)
