The Church — Persia EP
Next up comes “Persia,” another EP, released in August 1984, just six months after “Remote Luxury.” Very much in the same vein as the tracks on that earlier EP, just sweet dreamy jangle-rock without...

The Church – Remote Luxury EP
This Australian EP from February 1984 is just excellent. Oh, I do love me some Church, and every track on this EP is beautiful. It kicks off with “Maybe These Boys,” a pulsing little...
The Church – It’s No Reason 12”

Chubby Checker — For Teen Twisters Only
I don’t know the genesis of this album. It is in a bag from Peter Dunn’s Vinyl Museum, a spot in Toronto that we visited exactly once, in February of perhaps 1986, but I...
We’re Gonna Change The World: The ’60s Chicago Garage Sound of Quill Records
Another new one. I had never heard of Quill Records, but my history with garage rock compilations thus far has been that I have never found one I didn’t like. A lot. As I...
