The digital album was officially launched during a special edition of ROCKNA broadcast on 2 November 2012.

The idea behind this compilation was to share some of the music that has played an integral part in making ROCKNA's role in promoting the local music scene all the more significant ever since the radio show started airing in July 2010. 

The album was released through the M3P Foundation on [[Reciprocal Records]] with the support of MERC Clothing and Radio 101. The album is available as a [http://archive.org/download/ROCKNAlive2012/ROCKNAlive2012_vbr_mp3.zip free download].

==Sleevenotes==

In 1992, one year after Radio 101 had been launched, the station released [[Watching The Music]], a 10-track compilation CD featuring 2 tracks each from 5 different bands that were then active on the local scene. The compilation, inspired by [[John Bundy]]'s [[Maltin Biss]] radio show, was a first for Maltese rock. It was also a welcome addition to the limited number of local CD releases available at the time, and to continue the tradition, I felt it fitting to release a compilation culled from [[ROCKNA]]’s archive 20 years later, this time recorded not in a proper studio, but live and unplugged during the show itself.
