Think Like A Key Music releases the first-ever CD reissue of John Weider (Anchor Records, 1976) — a long-overdue return for Weider’s only ’70s solo singer-songwriter album, newly remastered from the original master tapes by Prof. Stoned.
For Family collectors, this is a key missing piece: a rare glimpse of Weider outside the band context, leaning into a quiet, late-night palette of soft-rock warmth, breezy pop craft, and personal instrumentals — West Coast ease with unmistakably British melodic discipline. Family’s own Charlie Whitney plays on the album. Contemporary reviews at the time praised the depth of the material, with one critic noting: “there’s a heap of good music here.”
“It’s an honest record, broadly soft‑rock with Beatlesque touches.” — Raffaele Galli, Buscadero
The “Quiet Light” CD Edition includes:
- First-ever CD reissue of John Weider’s 1976 Anchor Records solo album
- Prof. Stoned remaster from the original master tapes
- Contributions from Charlie Whitney, Charlie McCracken, and Pierce Kelly
- Collector packaging with obi-strip
- 16-page booklet with new liner notes and rare images
Also available: Moonrider (1975), Weider’s collaboration with Keith West, newly reissued — an ideal companion release that helps trace the path into the 1976 solo album.
Available now from Think Like A Key Music.
