More housecleaning...another post moved over from FBSVIP:
Here's a GREAT 45 RPM single that unfortunately didn't lead to a great career for a band. The lead guitarist, Robert Johnson, managed to get a couple of albums out in the late 1970s, but it never led to the widespread popularity he deserved. If this sounds good to you, track down his "Close Personal Friend" and "Memphis Demos" CD, which is currently still in print.
Back in 1978, when this came out, the local record emporium (Tower Records, Berkeley) had a separate "ghetto" in the back of the store for anything that fell into the "punk" or "New Wave" category. Regular pop singles and albums were filed in racks in the front of the store. WAAAAY in the far back of the store was a small section that held a smattering of singles and three columns of albums, and this was the sort of record that was shunted into the back of the store in 1978. (At the time, groups like the Cars, Police, and Elvis Costello were back there, too...unfit to sit next to Andy Gibb, the BeeGees, and the Rolling Stones).
While this 45 was racked with the punk and New Wave records, it's stylistically more of a straight ahead rock and roll/Power Pop record.
This is a VERY GOOD transfer of the single, so while we usually stick to albums or radio broadcasts here, give this a shot if you like old fashioned rock n' roll.
I have scanned in both sides of the 45 record sleeve and the disc labels at 300 dpi. The music is flac files of wavs, which I declicked in Audacity, one click at a time, to give you a perfect clone of the original single.
