PROMOTIONAL CDs
CARAS - A TRIBUTE TO
THE HON. PIERRE JUNEAU
(1989) Privately pressed for CARAS
<no catalog number>
- Includes You Could Have Been A Lady
- Jaimie Vernon kindly provided some background information regarding
this CD:
Pierre Juneau created the Canadian Content (CANCON)
regulations that dictated the amount of Canadian music that had to be played
on radio starting in 1971. He worked for the CRTC (the Canadian equivalent
to the FCC in the USA). He was also on the board of directors at CARAS
(The Canadian equivalent to the Grammy Awards organization NARAS) starting
in 1974 - thus the 1974 playlist on the CD. He retired from both in
1989 and this CD was created as a tribute to his career. There was
a tribute concert at Roy Thomson Hall which I believe was broadcast on the
CBC. This disc was handed out to everyone in attendance at the show
as a souvenir. It was never sold in stores.
