Sad To See It Go: Yes

Early 80's New Wave band from Durham, NC.  MItch Easter makes a cameo on the track "Baby John" and that happens to be the best track on the record.  Only half the record has made it to the streaming world to this day, and that track unfortunately isn't one of them.  You'll just have to snap up one of the 5 copies on line to hear it!

The record is perky post-B-52's southern new wave.  Retro, but enough guitar to make it interesting for me.  Certain tracks were more rocking than others including the song that made it to a single, "Nothing Left To Say."

This was something I probably played in my WICN mid-80's years and got this copy from one of WERS space making vinyl purges they would do from time to time where the students were treated to a pile of records unceremoniously dumped in the studio hallway.  There were no scrawled comments of Mitch Easter's acoustic strumming cameo anywhere on the cover.  

An interesting record for a start to finish headphone listen.

I'm going to say this one is quality start to finish.  My favorite cut is th...
