Boize

This is a promotional tape made by Bill Hill Productions for Boize in April and May of 1991. The purpose of this tape was to get Boize signed to a major record label. The tapes were accompanied by a full press kit which included photographs by Diane Archambault and an introduction sheet by Bill Hill. Versions of the tape vary between four or five songs, either including or excluding "I Need You". This is an entry for the 5-song version. The content of this tape comes from several recording sessions. "Out of Your Mind", "I Need You", "I'll Still Love You" and "Boize Boys (We Ought to No)" were recorded at Cherry Production Studios between July and November of 1990 with brothers Peter Stocola and Tony Stocola engineering. A total of nine songs were recorded at Cherry Production Studios for an intended full-length album to be released by Imagination Records (owned by Peter and Tony Stocola). After the album was shelved and Boize split from Imagination Records, they were picked up by Bill Hill Productions who took them to Morris Apelbaum’s Silent Sound Studio in February of 1991 to re-mix the four above-mentioned songs. Some vocals we also re-recorded at Silent Sound Studio. The same four songs were re-mixed again at Frank Marino's Starbase Studio in March of 1991. At Starbase, Boize recorded an additional song, "In Too Deep", which was intended to be released as a single. When this promotional tape was re-issued digitally by U-Iliot Records in 2011, it was renamed "I'll Still Love You", to reflect the strongest song on the tape, but also the name of the full-length album which was never released and presumed lost (a version was found a year later). The original cassette bares no title, simply the band's name.
