Song Of the Day: October 21, 2005
The Finders, from San Francisco, were basically the same band as the Rockers, who had released a four-song 7" EP the previous year on Alcatrazz Records. The Rockers has more of the Merseybeat sound, while the Finders has a bit more modern AOR production. Both are fine examples of the power pop of the period. I got this 45 in the early 80s via a mail order place called Rather Ripped Records (also in SF? They had an awesome catalogue.), then lost it in the mid 80s, then paid ten times what I originally paid for it in the late 90s on eBay. Live and (don't) learn. There's a real good Finders Bio here.

Wow. Dude in the upper left corner has the pointiest head this side of Zippy.
Rather Ripped was in Berkeley.
See the first Greg Kihn album cover for a shot of the outside of Rather Ripped.
