The 5'11" Record
The 5'11" Record (pronounced "The Five Eleven Record") is an album from Chapel Hill, North Carolina-based band Arrogance, spanning material recorded between 1976 and 1982, before the band's breakup in late 1983. The 5'11" part of the title is in the English units notation for height, meaning five feet, eleven inches, which refers to the average height of the band members. The title relates to the name the band sent these songs under back in the 1980s, looking for a new record deal. It was released in 2002 in celebration of the band's thirtieth anniversary and temporary reunification. Its release corresponded with the Arrogance concert at the Regency Park Amphitheatre in Cary, North Carolina, which was organized to promote the new CD, as well as the re-releases of Arrogance's past albums on CD.
