Song Of the Day: November 4, 2005
Well, you know, how can you go wrong with Sarah Records? The thing is, although the popular imagination holds that there was a specific "Sarah sound," there were many records on the label that didn't fit that category. This one, on the other hand, totally does. It's like purified Essence of Sarah in just over three minutes. The final song on Blueboy's fourth 7" EP, "Stephanie" is nothing more than Keith Girdler's helium-toned, whispery vocal and Paul Stewart's gentle acoustic guitar, with a brief, quiet string flourish at the very end, yet it's as melodically substantial and memorable as anything else the label ever released.

Absolutely lovely.
As a fan of Sarah Records thanks for the post. A remember eagerly going through the singles of one of the good record stores in Providence RI called Fast Forward. Blueboy's Clearer was a great single. How about posting some more Orchids or Field Mice
Don't worry, there's some more Sarah in the pipeline, including my favorite Bob Wratten-related single of all time. Stay tuned.
blueboy, my favourite of sarah bands...
Thank you for introducing me to this! Why is there no Sarah boxed set available ????? I LOVE IT
