The Box - Temptation

This is another one of those hidden gems. Found the CD in a used bin & fell in love with it. The video was on some compilation, and is the only one I've ever seen from these guys. For those that have been asking, the music is available on itunes USA http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/the-box/id287649350

@Debs03 It's one of the few where I like every song on the CD...

I haven't seen or heard these songs for over 20 years. I've tried searching online but no sucess. Thank you!!! I saw these guys in Halifax in July 1990: they sounded just like you hear them here on Youtube. The Box are truly a part of Canadian history and culture.

@sas19951113 They are on iTunes/USA (YT won't let me post a link... - let me see if I can add it to the description...)

It`s serious I took near 20 years!!! to find this material, I loved that song since the first moment I heard it. No cd`s no video found in my search. Thank you John for uploading this !!!

:) Glad I could share. I love finding unknown music - so much better than top 40 stuff. harder to do today with all the used CD stores going away

cool - I remember seeing The Box, the Tragically Hip, the Grapes of Wrath, and TPOH at Molson Park in Barrie about 1987- concert ticket price: $5

[Hellifiend]

Ohhhhh, thank you!!!!

I have loved this song forever and could not find it anywhere! You have made my day!

I have never been affected by a cd more than The Pleasure and The Pain! Thought I had lost it -- found it a month later in another cd case! I have listened to it every night since! I need more info on the band!

[conroyva]

Yep. Like 'The Origin' (a California band from around the same time) there are a hundred bands out there with the same name.

iTunes has one or two of the CD's for download, including The Pleasure & The Pain, with two tracks not on the original US CD release (which I have preserved my copy of).

Thanks for the video posting...if I can just find 'Shine Blue Lady' I'll be happy!

Flashbacks!

Absolutely. If you're thinking of visiting, though, you might want to get a coat, eh? It's pretty cold up here.

[EasilyWowed]

WOW! I haven't seen this video in more than 20 years.

Jean-Marc and everyone from the BOX: come back! 

English-Francophone Canada: LOVED YOU!
