Commemorating the loss of Kenny Shields tonight with "The Twelve Incher!!!"

Tonight's spin is in memory of Kenny Shields

One of only 3,500 copies of The Twelve Incher!!! In existence. This three-track EP was released as a promo before Streetheart's first album (Meanwhile Back In Paris)

It features the original lineup

With Kenny on lead vocals and percussion

Ken (Spider) Sinaeve on bass and vocals

Darryl Guthiel on keyboards and vocals

Matthew Frenette on drums and percussion

And Paul Dean on guitar and vocals

You might better know Matthew and Paul from there later time in Loverboy but they both got their start here in Streetheart.

Also the funny thing is even though only 3,500 of these exist and I never thought when I started collecting that I would find one I have seen four in my travels this being the first of the four.

Rest well Kenny and may you be rocking wherever you are.
