Classic Rock Society Managing Director Miles Bartaby comments:

“While there have been many covermount CDs, we are not sure that a specially-compiled CD like this has ever been available via so many different media partners.  We are immensely grateful to all of them for being so supportive and to our first 10 artists for buying into the scheme with such enthusiasm; in particular those, like Phideaux, Crippled Black Phoenix and Morpheus Rising, who gave us as-yet unreleased material.  Over 6000 CDs will be distributed in total, offering each band excellent promotional opportunities but also giving the CRS, which celebrates its 21^st birthday in 2012, the chance to get our organisation better known. New Species 2 will follow in February 2012.”

Non CRS members can purchase a copy of Rock Society 187, which includes features on DeeExpus, Nightwish, Sean Filkins, Steve Hackett, Diamond Head, Unitopia and Andy Bown with free copy of New Species 1, by following this link:
