Fifty-eight years later, his teenage recording becomes an album

A four-dollar thrift store record is about to become a real album, 58 years after the band that made it quietly broke up. In 2016, veteran music promoter Marcus Pollard bought an unlabeled, physically damaged vinyl on a whim, fell for its six songs, and spent two years hunting for anyone connected to it. "I searched in vain for two years trying to get any clue as to who was on the record, but to no avail," Pollard wrote on Facebook. A last-ditch post to a Canadian record appreciation group finally landed. The reply: "Hey, that's my record!" It came from Norman Roth, now 77 and working as a warehouse manager, who had recorded the live set as an 18-year-old with his Vancouver band, The Glass Cage. Pollard spent eight more years remastering the songs and building a booklet on the band's history. Where Did the Sunshine Go? arrives February 24, 2026. "It's just saying to the world, 'I was here,'" Roth told CTV News.
