Cruise to the Moon--Chaperones

Very interesting comp! It certainly p--ses over the single disc I have on See For Miles. Where is this company from? The UK, or somewhere else?

Dark Shadows

I Want You--Marvin Gaye

It got played a lot in the Cleveland area as well. I used to see copies left and right, and though I liked the record a lot, I'd pass 'em up. That was until the record started to grow in momentum in...

Just checked out your blog, Jim...very nice, but I have to disagree with your choice of "Storm Warning". I think "The 81" by Candy and the Kisses would've been a better choice, but hey, it's not my...
