| This is one of those killer rare CD's that's really worth the search! Essential, 10 easily! All the songs are pure melodic AOR classics. One of my favs cdgemz@hotmail.com

| PJ might still have the extra copy if someone has the cash or some great trades.
|
| From: koogles |

| PJ does have one left. In my opinion, it's a good disc with a lot of folklore behind its release and subsequent retraction from the market. Fans of J.T. Shelter and Hybrid Ice ("No Rules") will be somewhere between clouds eight and ten. After the sting of the investment wears off...

| Hey koogles, did you say that Simon Says "Spin This" was better? I haven't heard that one yet.
|
| From: koogles |
Date: October 20, 2002 at 20:41 |
| Hi TIM. Yeah, the production on the Simon Says CD is killer. Similar to The Explorers "We Always Want" or Wall of Silence "Shock to the System". Hard to believe it's an indie. I've heard both Simon Says and Shelter and they're pretty close, but I think Simon Says is a bit better.

| I just got a cdr of Simon Says- Spin This and I think it's a whole lot better. It sounds great!

| Wow, are you guys serious? "Killer rare CD"? "A good disc with a lot of folklore behind its release"? Might someone tell me what that folklore is? I'd really be interested. Listening to it now, it feels so ... so ... unpolished and dated. I'm honored that it's being discussed and yet it's hard to believe.

| Jim... I believe the CD was retracted after the death of one of your band mates, is this correct? E-mail me at endangeredcds@hotmail.com. Thanks
|
| From: jkanaris |
Date: December 31, 2002 at 21:56 |
| The death of the band mate was my brother, who played guitar. Died of cancer, 32 years of age. The CD was NOT retracted, as far as I know. Because it was an independent release the main investors didn't think it was worth reprinting. We also disbanded with the lead singer and guitar player forming JT Shelter. That project folded soon after the release of their debut album.

| It's the J.T.SHELTER 1993 cd that was retracted by the record company,KARDIAK RECORDS.The company destroyed 2000 cds.I got the info from J.T.BATTEN the lead singer.I told that story to someone and he told everybody else that it was the SHELTER cd that was retracted.How can a self released cd be retracted.I already posted all that info on this web site.It's another seller that posted on his web site the wrong info,saying it was the SHELTER 1991 cd.I won't name him!!!!

| For an AOR indie (not just for indies though, in general too) this one still holds my interest. Has that "Big" AOR sound of the 80's (although released in early 90's) and some smokin' guitar work along with some catchy hooks! Tracks 2 through 6 make this a solid release alone. Recommended, true AOR with a little kick!

|
| From: TheRipper |
Date: April 21, 2004 at 0:42 |
| Animal, are fuckin kidding me? Are you sure it's from the same Shelter? Is it going to be new material, or new unreleased material, like a lost batch of songs or album? I remember Jim Kanaris saying there were some demos to this, or right after and say they were in the same vein and a little more rockin and maybe even a little better in his opinion... I hope this is the case and this stuff does get released... We'll see...

I am Nick Kanaris' son and Jim's nephew. i am the drummer of this newly formed 'shelter' with brand-spanking new material. i'll keep u all posted! (forgive the lateness of my reply)

| Ripper, 'tiz True! We're releasing a new CD late fall '04 (9 tracks). I've gotta pipe & engineer the tracks! We're a little older, a little less mature & a whole lot more in your face sounding now, the tracks will soar. Look 4 Dan Hebert (our new lead guitarist) to smoke your last brain cell! Pretty much VH/Def Lep/& a brick wall of soaring vocals! J. 4 Shelter. PS. If you hit download.com's music site, & search "shelter" there's an old demo version of "Don't Let Go" there - free! Later, bro...

| I rated this record an 8/10! Just pulled this one out for a first spin in about 5 years. Must say it still sounds as good as the day I bought it for about $5 at one of their gigs in Pte-Claire (Pioneer Club) back in '91. BTW, the songs absolutely rocked live! J.T. was an aquaintance and a damn fine singer. This release has a certain flair and energy (or should I say 'youthful enthusiasm') that the subsequent 'J.T. Shelter' CD lacked. Sure the sound and production could have been more crisp, but

| ...to finish my first post for an indie release, it's more than adequate. My favourite tracks are: 2, 3, 5 & 7 (for some reason 'Can You Feel It' always reminded me of vintage Motley Crue). J.T., Glad to see you're still at it after all these years. Take care.

This site rocks! We've been working out the tracks... this album is going to torch all the earlier stuff.

Steve (drums), Pat (bass), Dan (guitar) & I (vox) are positive this album will put ya on your backside! We're dedicated to playing old & new Shelter when we start gigging. We don't know far it'll 'travel', but it will have everything we can sweat into it! The news will be on the tripod site http://paradisenow/tripod.com until we launch the Shelter site! email .. sheltertheband@rogers.com later

I don't know the full details of the new CD, I just know how the songs go, but keep an eye out for the CD. SHELTER VOX (J. BATTEN) should have all the info you need about the CD. Peace!!!

| Hey All, let's keep posts 'Shelter' related, to keep the HH 'crew' happy, cool. I appreciate all that's said, here at HH, good & not so good about us, it keeps us going/growing. I've started a thread on the HH message board 'Shout It To The World > Shelter's new Album, Keep your eyes open'. Post q's there & I'll piece together all the Shelter, JT Shelter, & Paradise Now info. When the new album's reviewable, HH will know. See you on the messageboard thread... Shelter is still kicking! - JT

| This one is very melodic, but not one of my faves. Good solid AOR and I can see why it's got a solid fan base as it does have a very good sound for an indie release.

| Great to hear the cd still talked about. I have a few copies of it plus Jordy's second one,"J T Shelter". Knew Nick, Jim, Jordy & Bob well...I was the original bass player in Shelter, up until 86,when I moved to England-am still there. We had some great times and were like family - Nice to hear the offspring of forming their own band. I still play, and will be resurrecting (with a few twists) some of the pre-Shelter CD tunes I taped on cassette during rehersals from 84-86. Now, where's Jordy?

On that album Im talking about I got to put a 9.5/10.00 top notch early 80s AOR with a westcoast feel to it. "Gald I Found You", "The Way I feel", "Who do you love", just superb songs on it!

| Hi again Folks, This is a GREAT!!! and AWESOME!!! AOR Album, si seņores estamos ante un tremendo album de AOR el tipo de AOR que gusta a todo amante a este estilo Incomparable, ahora si comparo este con el J.T. Shelter del 93 este disco se lo lleva de encuentro de LEJOS, otra comparacion que e visto es con Simon Says, siendo el de Simon Says un buen album este lo es aun mas este no es solo bueno es GRANDE, sin duda estamos ante un IMPRESCINDIBLE!!! en tu coleccion, ahora a escoger los cortes...

 Give it Up(Mi FAVORITA y la Ganadora del album IMO por ser la mas completa y ese corito que meten es UNICO!!!), Love Won't Wait, Don't Let Go, Melody, Can You Feel It, Never Alone 6 cortes que convierten este Clasico en Imperdible en tu coleccion, esa puntuacion no hace justicia a este disco, saludos a todos los hermanos amantes del mejor Rock y la mejor musica que tendra la raza humana.
