The lads at peak form, produced by none other than Glyn Johns.

Soft Cell [04:09]
"Say Hello, Wave Goodbye"
Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

"Nadie Desea Ser Amada (Doesn't Somebody Want to Be Wanted)"
Al Dia (Up to Date)
Bell Records 2308 004 1971
Jeez leweez, never trust a kid to refile records correctly. Why is there a copy of The Partridge Family's Up to Date in the sleeve for The Partridge Family Notebook? And why is the label in Spanish but none of the songs are in Spanish. Oh well.

Herb Ellis [23:07]
"Big Red's Boogie Woogie"
Nothing but the Blues

Hot mid-teens power pop punk from Dublin.

Iron Maiden [35:56]
"The Prisoner"
The Number of the Beast
Harvest ST-12202 1982
Bruce Dickinson's debut outing with Maiden. This album loomed large in my adolescence. Evidently Mr. Dickinson is touring with a spoken word show?

TacocaT [41:59]
"Psychedlic Quinceañera"
NVM
Hardly Art HAR-079 2014
So many awesome songs on this album that it's hard to pick just one, but really... This Is the One! From the lyrics to the trumpets, what's not to love?

Romeo Void [44:10]
"Never Say Never"
Never Say Never
Columbia/415 Records 5C 38178 1981
Every day someone is born who has never heard "Never Say Never". If one of those people is you, enjoy! Thank goodness for the early days of MTV otherwise I would have had no idea this sound existed.

Alan Price [50:16]
"O Lucky Man!"
O Lucky Man! Original Sountrack
Warner Bros. Records BS 2710 1973
I've been obsessed with this Alan Price soundtrack since I first heard it in this over-long shaggy dog of a film by Lindsay Anderson.

L.A. Witch [54:44]

Octubre
Suicide Squeeze SSQ166 2019
Mellow down spooky.

Putting the funk in Ethiopian jazz.

The Cramps [01:03:54]
"I Can't Hardly Stand It"
...Off the Bone
Illegal Records ILPIC 012 1985
The Cramps give this Charlie Feathers number a fine take. There's some great local television footage of Alex Chilton helping The Cramps record at Sun Studios if you shake the internet.
