Hi Frank! Love your blog. Just wanted to let you know that the RAR for this post might be damaged. I tried downloading it twice, just to make sure, but both my un-archiving tools told me it was damaged.
Thanks Pernt,
Not sure what happened but thanks for the heads up. I believe everything's fixed now.
Take Care,
Frank
Wow! It's Christmas on September 18th. I was a teenager during the power-pop era of the late 70's/early 80's. A year ago I heard the Singles on youtube and considered it better than anything I grew up with (no airplay of the Singles in my southern home town at that time). But oh man, the quality on those youtube clips left a lot to be desired. For a year, I've been searching for better quality files.
Thank you!
You're welcome, the records production isn't the best but it more than makes up for it, with great songs. Enjoy!
Frank, it worked like a charm. Thanks so much. Looking forward to giving the tunes an electronic spin!
Not bad!!! Kinda Plimsouls-y at times, never heard this one before!!! Nice to see where future Cloud Eleven guy Rick Gallego started out......
You're welcome, thanks again for the heads up Pernt.
Hi Jim, I definitely hear some similarity's to the Plimsouls. Thanks for the comment.
