Around 1980, Jim Johnson got together with Stanley Kipper (drums, percussion and vocals) and Brad Palmer (bass guitar and vocals) and put a new band together, The Steamers, that played in the Los Angeles area. Two attorney’s from New York City, Alan Shapiro and Gary Wishik saw the band perform live and produced (and financed) the bands only album, recorded at Don Casale Studios in Westbury, New York, that was released in 1982. The album was self-titled (with no label name), with ten original songs, six written by Jim, three written by Stanley and one written by all three members. Jim sings lead vocals on five songs, Stanley singles lead vocals on four songs and Jim and Stanley both sing lead on one song. Numerous songs from the album were used in soundtracks for various Universal movies. The Steamers played live and recorded songs for Universal up through 1984/1985. Notable Stongs: lead off corker ‘High Wire’ and guitar riffer ‘High Price Love’.
