APOCALYPSO
Apocalyso was intended to be the third studio album by the band The Motels, recorded between April and August, 1981, but it was rejected by the Capitol Records promotions department. The album that was re-worked and released was All Four One. Apocalypso remained unreleased until 2011. (More from Wikipedia)
The bandleader and songwriter for Code Blue, Dean Chamberlain is best known as one of the founders of the 1980’s new wave band the Motels, which was formed all the way back in 1971.
The hidden history of the Motels includes a total of eight albums; I have half of them and enjoy them all, with their second album Careful being my most recent purchase. What would have been their third studio album, Apocalypso was rejected by the suits at Capitol Records and wasn’t released in its original form until 2011. Apocalypso was reworked in 1982 and became their first hit album, All Four One. The Wikipedia article on the Motels lists a remarkable 35 current and former bandmembers.
