Well – didn’t even know this live tape existed until just now. Changed is known as a Christian hard rock band from the Netherlands that is most often compared to the Resurrection Band. This is somewhat due to the fact that they have a hard classic rock sound with male and female lead vocals. But that still leaves a wide range of styles out there. The Rez Band comparison comes through on songs like “Masks,” because that is who they really sound like on songs like that. But there is also a very strong European feel to the songs as well. Most songs come from their 1989 album Who is Real? “Anyone Pays the Price” and “Changed” seem to only exist on this tape. “You Have It” was on 1990’s Wake Up. Well, and “Masks” seems to have appeared on most of their tapes. The j-card says it was recorded in 1988, but I don’t know if it was released that year or later. It may be that the two songs only on this tape got re-recorded as another song on Wake Up. Or they were tried out and then dropped.

The booklet actually gives all the missing information. I’m Dutch, so here’s a translation of the booklet:
This live recording was recorded at a concert on July 6, 1988 at Nassau College in Heerenveen. These are the original recordings – nothing has been added or dubbed in the studio. Mixed by “Exclusive Business Studio” in Nij Beets.
Changed is:
– Benno Nijmeyer- bass
– Jurjen Wind – rhythm guitar
– Johan Boersma – drums
– Ytsje Droogsma – vocals
– Jouke Droogsma – vocals and lead guitar.

Of course – thank you! I don’t know why I didn’t think to at least try Google Translate or something (even though it would have been a lot less accurate). I must have been really tired when writing this up. Sorry!
