Fine Recording Studio 1947-1977
In December 2002, a shipping container arrived in Sydney, Australia. Its contents largely unknown, it was unloaded into a warehouse in East Botany. For the next 6 months a story unfolded, a history of the recorded music of Rochester, NY, from the immediate post-war era, until the untimely death
in 1977 of studio owner and jazz big band leader Vincent Giancursio, aka Vince Jan, aged 58. The studio later suffered fire and flood damage.

The contents of the container, as they were unpacked, revealed hidden musical treasure representing every genre and diversity of the era. Big band jazz and lounge music, popular songs, country and western, rockabilly and incredible gospel groups dominate the 1950's. Following this came early beat and pop groups, early garage r&r, northern soul and funk, culminating in a slew of brilliant undiscovered garage punk masterpieces, the reason
for the existence of this site.
After 1967, psychedelic and progressive styles took hold, and the energy was lost. However, the story must, and will, be told...

Groop Ltd. Interview with Jake Gerber by Mike Dugo

Text from the back of the cover:
THE HERE AND AFTER
The Here and After are another testament to WHB's pervasive "no garage allowed" attitude.
A contest was held in the spring of 1967 with bands submitting demos to the station. A weekly head-to-head "battle of the airwaves" was held,
with the winner advancing to meet next week's challenger. The ultimate victor's reward was to be a recording session, a 45 on some local label,
and airplay on WHB. But after listeners overwhelmingly voted the quartet of Carl Palermo, John Barlow, Pete Tracazzi, and David Gaiser the champs, WHB reneged. To avoid a lawsuit, WHB doled out a few token spins, but the hard edges on The Here and After's April, 1967,
Cavern Session — resulting in "Hey Joe" and "Mister You're A Better Man Than I" — were too rough for staid Johnny Dolan and company.
