NEW FACES '95 - Volume One
Artist: Compilation Project
Album: New Faces '95
Category: All Styles
Fjord Records (Now Road Records)
Produced by Conrad Askland
Publishing: Not Assigned

The New Faces compilation CD series started with New Faces '95. This compilation album is designed for two types of artists. Firstly for those artists or bands that want to work on serious development and production but perhaps lack the material or budget to do a full album's worth of material; and secondly for those that have recorded albums with us but want an additional Compact Disc release to increase their exposure and chance of securing industry contracts

Many of the artists that do single songs on New Faces end up recording entire albums with us, so it's a good way for people to get introduced to the entire project development and recording process from start to finish

Artists that continued development after New Faces '95 and recorded full albums are Karen Mitchell and Carol Dinise and Cathryn Howard. Both of these artists received publishing and/or distribution contracts after their albums were released!

New Faces evolved at a time when the Road Records recording studio was working with a dozen single recording artists that were not doing full albums and had no venue for securing contracts. If you look on the top right of the picture you will see Kelly Bergstrom (Hey Kelly, sorry the scanner made you look like an alien but I wanted the pages to load fast ) and it was her idea that everyone chip in and do an album together

Almost 20% of these artists and songs received either distribution, publishing or songwriting contracts. That's an incredible ratio considering all the artists on this project were released on CD for the first time with New Faces '95!

Our first New Faces release later evolved into releasing New Faces Volume Two and New Faces Volume Three.

A Little History - Road Records was originally called "Fjord Records" and the recording studios was "Askland Recording Studio". We found out very quickly that more people know what a "road" is than a "fjord".
