This is on the shopping list based solely on this cut, which you turned me on to a while back.
a great great record!!!!!
Really one of the very best albums of the '90's!
"is this some sort of reverie for a one-woman Jan&Dean headed for the crash?" .....one of my favorite song lines of all time.
Fantastic tune. Will look this record up. Thanks, Sal.
Yeah, that's the sh*t.
I heard of them but for some reason never checked them out, definitely up my alley. Nice. Thanks!
Never heard that before, but I loved it! Thanks. And, call me nuts, but I hear the inspiration for "Girls in Their Summer Clothes" in that first verse.
Thanks for the pure pop tip!!
I have shelves of power pop, and this is probably the best indie power pop album I have ever encountered. The very rare record that actually is Beatle-esque without being just an imitation.
I pre-ordered the deluxe edition from Amazon, and then on the way home yesterday I saw my local Newbury Comics had a copy of the deluxe edition on sale for $9.99. It was all a cheapskate like me could do not to buy it.
So, now I am waiting for the mail.

It is a great album, and I totally forgot until your post that I had it. Fun to revisit again. I remember what always struck me about it, aside from the quality of the songs was the eerie resemblance of the lead singer's voice to John Lennon's.
Why did I not get the memo on this one at the time it first came out?
Can't do anything but nod to the post and all the comments. It is a wonder of an album.
