Project Spotlight #14: What is X-Selsior?

Records of Jason's solo career were not kept very well from 1987-1991. There is an occasional date on a lyric sheet or some other document, but recordings usually were not dated. So that makes it tough to piece together this part of the Studio's history (before the Studio was a studio).

Harry and Jason had finished with their earliest music career (ad-libbed singing to instrumental music on the radio) by 1988 or so. In fact, their band Pheonix had been put together and they were busy with that. But at home Jason continued the radio singing. But now he was recording the music off the radio, writing lyrics to the songs, and then recording himself singing his lyrics to the music he had recorded off the radio. The solo career was evolving. He called it X-Selsior.

There was only one album released as X-Selsior. It was titled One Way. It was a short album compiling the songs he had recorded this way on his own. It was probably finished in 1988 or 1989. There are no plans to re-issue this album on CD.


Next week: What is Parvo?
