THE "UNION" DISCOGRAPHY




Sadly, Union weren't around long, but they managed to put out a fair amount of material, notably interesting and highly collectible promotional issues. This Discography is limited to pure Union releases, i.e. the FOUR memebers of the band, as a unit, and therefore excludes some of the "Tribute" projects that some members have appeared on (unless the band, as a whole which has not occured yet, appear. For those issues please refer to the individual discography sections provided for the band members).

A couple of people should be mentioned for assisting me in making this section as complete and accurate as possible: Naturally, Chris & Beth White for allowing me to do the discography for the band and providing several scans of items which I (then) didn't have; Jeff Whitlock, who provided some information about Union related releases and sent me numerous scans for inclusion here; and Michael Edwards, of Union Force, who provided clarification on several releases details and is a great assistance on keeping me up-to-date; Finally, thanks to Steve Stierwalt, Jr. for the scan of the Union Advance promo CD.

   10. Tangerine			(4:43) - Kulick/Corabi/Cuomo
   11. Robin's Song			(4:28) - Corabi
Ex-Crue and Ex-KISS members John Corabi and Bruce Kulick team up for some mayhem with Brent Fitz (Drums) and James Hunting (Bass)! Tracks are co-produced by John Corabi, Bruce Kulick and Curt Cuomo. The first 20,000 (or so) pressings of the CD cover feature an error, the omission of the listing of "Old Man Wise" on the back cover. Also issued on vinyl for the diehard collector! Track 11 is actually the final song on the album with its mixing being completed in late November 1997. Click on cover(s) for large scan: CD (Left) / LP (Right). The LP cover varies from the CD version, due probably to what it would have cost to produce the attractive foil- style Union symbol in an LP-size format.

Promotional 12" single featuring the artwork used on the CD single cover. Some copies come with an autographed insert card while the B-Side includes a 25 minute interview of the band with Metal Edge's Gerri Miller. For the late 1990's it's very cool to see a picture vinyl issue from a record label though this release did quickly get kinda tough to track down! Orders for this item started being taken in Jan. 98, though the item didn't start shipping until mid-March. B-side simply has print of the Union logo...

   12. For You*				(3:01) - Kulick/Cuomo
The Japanese version of the album features different front cover artwork and includes the usual biography/lyric insert sheet. More importantly, the album features a bonus track, not present on the countries copies of the album, a second Bruce Kulick sung rocker, "For You", which makes this version of the album well worth tracking down. That track was mixed in March 1998. Other aspects of the internal packaging of the album are similar, if not identical, to the US version. Click on cover for large scan.

Mixed by Bruce Bouillet and Bruce Kulick; Recorded live at the Galaxy Club by Studio On Wheels; Extremely cool live album from Union which includes material from the debut album, covers, and material from John and Bruce's previous bands. While Scream, KISS, and Mötley Crüe material is included there's no Blackjack stuff! Argh! Still the inclusion of a couple of acoustic radio show tracks, especially the Beatles track, makes up for that! The album shows how incredibly tight and powerful the band is in full flight in concert. Click on cover for large scan.
