Song of the Day: January 26, 2005


Stortbeat Records 45, 1979

The DIY ethic (see the entry for January 15) occasionally applied to power pop bands as well. Here's a fine example of lo-budget, black-and-white sleeve power pop. The flip says "Dub Version," but it isn't. It's another good number in the same vein. The Gangsters had an album as well, which was booted a couple of years ago; it's not often up to the standard set here. The exquisite picture sleeve is shown mainly to demonstrate that we're not terribly snobby about condition.
