This revised and re-edited version features newly transferred historical footage from Boeing, Douglas, North American, and McDonnell archives, including new footage of President Kennedy's 1962 visit to McDonnell Aircraft to thank employees for their work on the space program. Experience America's aviation and aerospace history and gain a new perspective on these amazing people, aircraft, and events.
Signed by major label Mercury, Norwegians PIONEERS released this debut album "In A State Of Rock" in 1984. The album has become a huge collectors items, cause the band featured none other as later Stage Dolls members Torstein Flakne and Steinar Krokstad plus bass player Morten Skaget, which later changed his name to Morty Black and became a member of TNT. Their musical style was the incipient Scandinavian Melodic Rock / AOR sound of the mid-Eighties; anthemic poppy choruses ready for the arenas, something that catapulted Europe to stardom two years after. You can easily figure out here where the Stage Dolls sound comes from! First time ever on CD, digitally remastered and only limited quantities!
