Release Notes:
--------
Historic first recordings by Tim Anthony, founding member of those
pop-juggernauts The Brambles. Tommy Allen & Gary Frenay (Flashcubes ) also
appear on this disc as an added bonus. DonÆt Forget Me was The Agents first and
only single. It sold 1000 copies, pretty good for not having an Internet. It
helped put the band on the map and get some gigs. Elektra Records showed
interest but soon waned. A special thank you to Gary Frenay (Flashcubes) for his
help. Agents of the Future, was the B-side of above song. Mark Sirianni and I
wrote this together and for once I compromised, pop meets prog ûrock. Traciann
has been said to be my best song ever. This song was to be the next Agents
single but did not happen. Famed producer Jimmie Ienner called me to say this
song was a bonafide hit, but he did not want to pursue it. I asked him if he was
crazy. Relations broke down. Bruce Lundvall (Capitol Records), Tom Trumbo
(Elektra Records), Aaron Jacoves ( A&M Records), were calling me now based on
this song. You decide, is it or was it a hit? Never Thought YouÆd Go, was to be
the next B-side. I wanted to write a heavier song. I think I did. This was the
last session for The Agents as a band. Lee Cominsky joined the band as an
additional guitar player for a few months and proceeded to join the army.
Good-bye to The Agents, Hello solo Ville. Never Gonna Cry, was the first song I
recorded to start my wonderful solo career. A special thank you to Rick Krzyzak
for being a good friend and a great drummer. Maryellen has a neat history. This
song would be played on NBCÆs Friday Night Lights Dec 2007. The version played
would be from my 2005 release The Happy Door, a #1 in Spain. She Broke My Heart
was just straight up pop. Nuff said.
