LOTUS:

Richard Connor: synthesizer (borrowed from John Carnett), acoustic guitar, bass

Richard Augustine: drums

The rock operas, UNDERGROUND, IN VIOLENCE, and THE PAUPER, were billed as, THE RICH.

Coyote's first album, TEMPTATION, released 1984 by Shaolin Records, lists the artist on the cover as, "RICHARD O'CONNOR," but on the back cover lists the band as, "THE RICH."

As many of these studio recordings from 1975 to 1986 are transferred from their analog tape masters to digital, we will offer them here. One of the LIVE SHOW cassette recordings is used on the beginning of the song, "In Line," on the American Zen album, LEVEL 3 = I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME.
