Promotion / Not For Sale

Promotion began as a 8 piece rock funk group 1984. In the beginning the name of the group was Mark 5. Four horns, drums, guitar,keyboards and bass. Peter was the lead singer and played the guitar. Anders played the bass, Håkan played alto saxophone and Jocke was the lead trumpet player. 1986 the band changed into a five piece rock band and took the name Promotion. Crille joined at the drums and Per at the keyboards. The band has since then had a lot of constellations, sometimes with horns and sometimes without. But its always been the same people who had come and go. 1995 was the year when Anders built his studio, this was the turning point for Promotion. Now they had the opportunity to record as much as they wanted. December 1997 was the first record , "Not for Sale" released on their own label. This Swedish band's sound style is like Toto's or Chicago's one. Good Melodies here and there.

I reviewed when I wrote on the original ACMJ web, “If they will pay attention to the keyboard arrangement in general, they will be much better. In anyway, this album is worth being given to be promoted by using my website....” then. They improved and became the band Grand Illusion later.
