Volume Nine link is in the comments.
Speaking of comments a word or two from readers about these nifty offering would be a darling way to finish off this bounty.

P.S. Anyone with accesses to decent scans (front and/or back) of any of the entries in the series would be a hero for sending them to me

You're right it never does but it seems strange with all the obscurities here that they would add a song that has been easy to find for such a long time.
Love it. That's the Plimsouls doing their best Blondie impersonation. And it's a damn good one!
ReplyDelete@Mr. Suave: I hope you're joking, since Blondie impersonated Peter Case first.
ReplyDeleteLoving the Power Pearls. Old favorites, but a lot of "new" ones, including some really outstanding ones.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to explain to the kids of today the impact that the "new wave" had.

Thanks - again!
