"Serious Business" was originally released in 1987 by Nabel Records - NBL 8626 - in Germany. This new incarnation is a fully remastered re-issue. This album features the innovative "Nourney Infinite Sustain Pickup System". This is the only recording of this prototype which, although presented at the 1982 AES in Los Angeles, never made it to market. The idea was eventually copied by a large manufacturer of guitar effects and was discontinued after only a few years. Nonetheless, Dr. Ernst Nourney's - professor of Acoustics and Electronic Engineering at the Fachhochschule in Düsseldorf is here not wasted. This sustain could be achieved with or without distortion or additional add-ons. It makes it easy for a guitar to sing like a horn. That makes this album quite unique.
