Description
In the early 1970ís, an ad appeared in the Miami Herald "Original bands wanted for new record label" after submitting an 8-song demo tape, Southern Steel was chosen as the first group (and only group) to be signed to Earth Records. Two successful North Miami lawyers Bill Blanton and Bill Barragan whom after watching "In Concert" on TV decided to break into the music business started Earth Records. A recording studio was built on NE 7th Ave where SS rehearsed and worked on their upcoming album. Southern Steel was Jim Goodman (Heat Machine, Dakota) on guitars, bass, lead vocals and songwriter, Spike Warner (Shades Inc, Willy Bogg, The Moon) on lead and slide guitars, Ed Olszewski, (The Force, Dakota, The Moon) lead and bass guitars, And Greg Orsini (Heat Machine) on drums. Their first studio effort "Get On Through" was recorded in 2 days at Criteria and was produced by Craig Leon (who later found fame as producer of the Ramones and Blondie). It was at this time that an amazing bassist, Steve Clark joined the group. The band played various gigs in Florida, Tennessee, and Ohio and was featured on a local TV series "Fusion" and could be seen in Billboard magazine ads.
