Background

"While having dinner with Ken Ciancimino in New York City in May of 1999, he asked me if I had any recorded material from the past that I would like to release. We both knew that there was demand from my fans around the world, and we both figured that it would be fun to sort through what I have and see what I could come up with. I knew I had some of my work locked away, but then it hit me: How many songs did I have? After all, I've always been good about committing my work to tape.

When I got back home to Los Angeles, I went into my safe and went through boxes of tapes, and, lo and behold, not only did I find many songs that I had shelved over the years, but I found true gems; songs that should have been released, but hadn't been. The more I listened, the more excited I became. Here were songs, some of which were as good if not better than others that had been released, just sitting. Songs, that as I listened to each one of them, touched me personally in very special ways. Each song had a story and created pure excitement for me. My creative fire was burning. David Tedds and myself immediately began compiling the first CD. What I have ended up doing is pulling together a group of incredible songs with a certain common feel, and future CDs will take their own path.

I called Ken, and we decided to immediately form a record label, Pink Cloud, so that the Glenn Hughes fans could add these very special and very personal CDs to their collections. I have called the project 'From The Archives.' Put it in, turn it up, and enjoy! I'll meet you inside the groove."
