Sire Records, 1980
New Wave
I am way behind with my Countdown updates, so I'll try to be brief, but this record is worth a few words. I LOVE this album. It's one of my Desert Island Disks top 10.
I'm pretty sure I got this record when I was living on Lawrence Street, at some second hand shop. It's trippy, high energy vibes stole my musical heart right away. I've probably played it at every party I have hosted since (and that's a lot of parties).
I nearly had this record stolen by a roommate who was moving out. When he packed up his records from the living room, he included any records he liked, regardless of whether or not they were actually his. I went to play my record and couldn't find it, so I checked the box he still had waiting to move, and lo and behold, there it was, along with a few others that belonged to me! I'm grateful that I got it back, but I'm pretty sure he did get away with my Sadies - Good Flying Day, as it vanished around the same time. That's particularly upsetting now, given the recent loss of Dallas Good. But I digress.
This is a must have album. I'm keeping it!
