Fresh Sounds From Middle America (vol 5) is the fifth and last album in the Lawrence, Kansas-based series of compilation albums. This volume was the first to be released on compact disc.
The "Fresh Sounds" series was organized by Bill Rich, of Talk Talk magazine, [1] as a way to promote regional bands nationally. [2] [3]
Bill Rich of Fresh Sounds (and Talk Talk zine) put out the Fresh Sounds From Middle America comp tape and early cassettes by local greats The Embarrassment and Mortal Micronots (later The Micronotz).
Lawrence, Kansas, has been a hotbed of alternative music for several years, thanks principally to the indefatigable Bill Rich, who runs the hardy, little Fresh Sounds label there. As far back as 1981, Rich was issuing the first pressings by the Lawrence bands Get Smart! and the Embarrassment, both of whom went on to underground-cult fame.Alt URL
