Baby Loves To Rock- Cheap Trick
(George Martin produces The Beatles of Rockford, Illinois! What could go wrong? Well, at the time, I thought everything. I did not like this record, especially after "Dream Police." But I've warmed to it, at least Side One.)
Fabulous- Charlie Gracie
(I believe this was the first release on Philly's Cameo-Parkway records. Macca does a nice cover of it, too.)
Oh Bondage! Up Yours!- X-Ray Spex
(Two exclamation points in the title! For good reason!)
You Can't Take Love For Granted- Graham Parker
(I've got a few more GP albums in the listening queue today. "The Real Macaw" is an underrated favorite. I love the jump from minor to major on "I get so hungry and I...")
You Got To Have A Job (If You Don't Work, You Can't Eat)- Marva Whitney
(True dat! This may too be funky for a Sunday.)
Come Go With Me- Gloria Jones
(Mrs. Marc Bolan revs up the Dell-Vikings doo wop classic. I highly recommend the whole album, which clocks in at a very cheap 21 minutes. Worth your time.)
Break It Down Again- Tears For Fears
(This band has
fans, of course. They're popular, of course. Yet, it still feels like
not enough people know anything beyond "Shout." Playlist below. And it's
a damn good one, if I do say so myself.)
Tears For Fears Playlist
OH...and BY THE WAY!
I put up about 30-35 really solid records for sale at my usual below wholesale prices! Please take a look, because as Marva and James say, if you don't work, you can't eat.
