N.O.S. Back In Time is my latest album, available on all streaming services, CDBaby, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon and many others. It’s a collection of songs I’ve written and sung lead on (save one) with several groups I’ve played with and solo. Tracks included were recorded with the groups Napi Browne, Island and Pulse. There are two solo tracks on which I play everything (except for Drum Drops, remember those) and a Napi Browne rehearsal tape, which although is a cut below the rest in sound quality is a smokin’ track with a live feel. Recorded with a JVC Binaural cassette deck, with no reverb or delay, the quality is actually quite good.
The track I don’t sing lead on is from my first album with the band Pulse, Another Woman, which is sung by the great Carl Donnell (Augusto). Another Woman is one of the first songs I had written for the band and was recorded at Syncron Sound in Wallingford, CT, now Trod Nossel. The Napi Browne tapes come from two sessions, one in Woodstock at Bearsville Studios, and one in Bridgeport at Paul Leka’s studio. One Napi track was recorded in a home studio. The Island material was recorded at the now defunct studio Blue Rock in Soho, New York City.
A more complete list of credits can be found on the album’s page at CDBaby
The best way to find the album on any of the above listed services is by simply searching on my name Paul Rosano. The player below gives a sample of all the tracks.
Hi Paul, I’m enjoying N.O.S. Back In Time. Are you still in touch with any of the Napis?
Cheers,

Hi Tom,
Thanks very much. Glad your enjoying it. Yes, I’m in touch with Nick Bagnasco fairly regularly. He is still in the area. Dan is on the West Coast, so not so much. Of the drummers, Dennis is still around and I have seen him but not lately. All great guys.
Paul, we have a page on Facebook devoted to CT bands from 50’s thru 70’s, and of course we’re big fans of your music.
We have been playing Let’s Get Right To It from Youtube. One of the guys on the site asked me the following regarding it:
“Has anyone digitized the R2R tape shown in the video? If so, is there any way I could get a copy of the CD or DAT? If not, I’d be happy to do it.”
I have zero knowledge of the technology, but I said I’d try to ask these questions. Thanks, Mike
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I’ve converted the tracks to digital and they are available for streaming at CDBaby, Spotify, Apple, Deezer and just about any other streaming site. CDs will be available through CDBaby in the near future.
Thanks again,
