Artist description Compilation of several studio and live projects recorded throughout the 1980's and 1990's. Several recordings include guest apearences by other famous musicians including: Rick James, Daryl Hall, Ron Price and others. What is L.A.X. Records L. A. X. Records was formed as a catalyst for artists who have lived through, “or died in” the L.A. music scene. Honestly, this includes New York and even Nashville. The goal of L.A.X. Records is the same as MP3.COM, “to give the power of musical and artistic ownership back to the musicians and back to the artist. L.A.X. Records believes in it’s artists and therefor never charges the artist / musician for it’s services. Our costs are recuperated as the music sells. We never charge an advanced fee for studio or production time. L.A. X. Records is putting the EX into the mainstream music outlets. Long live the Internet and MP3.COM
