Song Of the Day: June 29, 2005


The Letters - Nobody Loves Me


Heartbeat Records 45, 1980


The Letters 45, like the Nasty Facts record discussed earlier, may well be worth the silly prices it fetches on the eBay. (I've never been able to score an original at a point when I had the disposable income, but I do have a nice boot.) Very typical of the era, with a bit of the then-pervasive Jam influence. Great fun.

The Letters re-united a few years back to make an LP for Detour Records which was well-written and well-executed beyond any reasonable expectation. It could have been one of the great lost albums of 1981; the band sounds confident and assured, but also as if they're having a really good time.
