CD Reviews
A Fantastic Album
Music Fan | 11/15/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Karen Lawrence was one of the great female rock vocalist. If you like 70s hard rock then you owe it to yourself to check this out. I have been waiting years for this to be released. Now, I'm just crossing my fingers that their 2nd LP "Please Stand By..." makes it to CD as well."
What might have been

"I discovered 1994 in Boston in 1978 when WBCN showcased then at a $1.04 per ticket concert. I was utterly blown away. Karen Lawrence was incandescent. I immediately bought this album and practically wore it out. The followup, Please Stand By is equally good. Interestingly, Please Stand By is one of the first albums to have been at least partially recorded digitally. I kept waiting for radio to pick up on 1994, but it never happened. That's a crying shame."
1994: in 2008

"Back in 1978 I was walking through my local record store, looking for something, but I didn't know what. Then I saw 1994:'s debut and thought - "That's it!" And it was. I took it home, ripped the plastic off and popped the vinyl gem on my turntable. From the opening riff of "Once Again" I was hooked. Powerful vocals and amazing musicianship.
I went to see them for $2.00 (what a bargain!) a few months later and was completely blown away by Karen & the boys. They were even better live.
If you like '70s rock with incredible female vocals, this is for you!
Anxiously awaiting the release of their second (and sadly last) album, "Please Stand By" on CD."
My Little Secret

"I saw 1994 and Karen Lawrence many many years ago in Albuquerque,N.M. and we all loved them! There are songs on this recording that are timeless. I really like the fact that the information about the band and the songs is included in the re-release CD. I thought me being a music man all these years that this was one of my secret finds from the past! I really love to turn people on to this and Blue By Nature with Karen Lawrence. To me, she is just plain hot! And full of soul. Check it out,see what I mean."
