Back Vinyl Records, 1977
PowerPoint
I first heard Shoes on a Powerpop compilation record that I found on Soulseek called Power Pearls. There is a whole series of these comps, with some real hidden gems, and for a young gal with a love of garage-y, melodic, off-radar rock n' roll, it was a veritable treasure trove. Shoes was one of the bands that had released a whole album that I could actually find, so naturally, I bought it. I am very glad that I did. Not only is it a wicked power pop record that I continue to enjoy today, but it came with a Shoes iron-on t-shirt transfer - a rare and entertaining surprise.
If you enjoy bands like Big Star or Cheap Trick, you'll almost certainly like Shoes, so give it a spin!
