REPOST Request: Well added the bonus tracks from the CD that some other blog had posted long ago finally as this is a very old post. Per Discogs: Get yer rocks off to this old Canada band by 'Switchin' To Glide' per the hit. Per Discogs: Canadian 'one-hit wonder' band that gained national attention with their very first single, 'This Beat Goes On/Switchin' To Glide'.
Originally known as WhistleKing in the 1970's,The Kings were formed in Vancouver, British Columbia and Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Their first two albums were produced by Bob Ezrin on Elektra records before moving over to Capitol (Canada). While they did see some minor chart action on later releases, it was nothing compared to their initial releases popularity.
Founding members:
David Diamond; lead vocals, bass Sonny Keyes; Keyboards, Vocals Max Styles; Drums
Mister Zero; guitar Peter Nunn; keyboards

Yeah, they were big AOR radio stars locally for sure what with a reference to the "Twin Cities" of Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Is there any possibility of getting the link for the albums again? Looks to me that Rapidshare can't find the file. (Really missing Amazon Beach and RSVP here!) Thanks in advance...

LOVE this band! Haha, I used to literally get up and dance around my room whenever "Switchin' To Glide" came on the radio back when I was in high school. Still love that song. Thanks for this repost, I'm curious to hear the entire album!

I come to your blog every day looking to see what you have posted and I haven't seen any post indicating that you will be fulfilling requests next week. I have a ton of music...however, unfortunately, I don't have anything in your "want" list. Is there anything else you're looking for?

I mentioned it on the 'Hot Hot Heat' post...I noticed it is not on the current page of posts this week--you might be missing 'Page 2" of my weekly posts of 15 vinyl/15 CD's! Things I might need: for repost requests additional releases by the artist would help if they are good and you have them--something to be aware of at least that is not on the 'Wanted List'. Thanks for being loyal and thanks for your comment.
