The Payola$: Live at The Cleveland Agora, 1982 (FM Broadcast)
Back in the pre-MFMF days, Britolboy and I did a great series on the Canadian punk-cum-new wave band, The Payola$ (see HERE). Sadly, those link are gone but here's a new find; a stellar live set from 1982-10-13 recorded for WMMS in Cleveland, OH. The band is into their more new wave, Police-ish phase by 1982 but the songs stayed excellent even while the production wavered. As is so often the case with bands who slicked-up their sound for eighties radio, the live sound is kickier.
01. Intro/Soldier
02. Dancing With Another
03. Jukebox/Paul Hyde Q/A
04. Lights To Change
05. Pennies Into Gold
06. Romance
07. Some Old Song
08. Hastings Street
09. Eyes Of a Stranger
10. Rose
11. I'm Sorry
12. Tears Are Not Enough
13. Kill A White Man (unreleased)*
While a 2007 re-formation EP and a slim Best-Of CD are currently
available, the Payola$ albums have NEVER been re-issued in any format!
Visit PVAc to 44.1 kHz for some more out-of-printy Payola$ goodness.
The name of track 13 comes from this article, submitted by Britolboy.
COMMENTS
are the great encourager, so if you have some thoughts on the Payola$ now is the time to let them be known in the COMMENTS section (where you will find Live at The Cleveland Agora ).
I do appreciate this- I trust it will be a gem. The Payolas, what can I saw. We didn't appreciate them enough when they were about, as we tend to sometimes do/not do. Great sounds.

DeleteThe Payola$ were great, a really underestimated band of the 80's. I read that their name prevented them from getting air play in the States.
ReplyDeleteYeah the guys in the sating baseball jackets really hated that name!
DeleteExcellent! I have the intro-EP and their 3 discs, so maybe I can figure out what the "?" is....
ReplyDeleteThanks jeffen!! :)
It OK, the amazing research skills of Bristolboy solved the mystery.

ReplyDelete"We didn't appreciate them enough when they were about" - that's the wrong we aim to right around here.
DeleteThank you so much! A Payola$ post is always special, especially when it's something like this. Much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteI'll keep my eyes open in case anythign else ever shows up.
DeleteI think the unknown track is maybe a track called "Kill A White Man" there's a reference to it here (unreleased?)
