Jul 21, 2011 - Perfect pop tune...Who dislikes this?

Jul 22, 2011 - The main riff is taken from the Byrds "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better". Still, this is a classic, all-time great late-70s power-pop recording. "Teenerama" is also excellent.

Aug 10, 2011 - This is the single mix and does not appear on the original UK Lp with the bonus disc.A much, MUCH better version and mix.

Aug 14, 2011 - The song is a shameless lift from 'Do Anything You Wanna Do'. The lead guitar melody is definitely inspired by 'Eight Miles High'.

Aug 15, 2011 - and yet it manages to be way better than both "Do Anything You Wanna Do" and either of those Byrds records. perfect pop song.

Oct 31, 2011 - @ElGrandWazir if ur gonna steal, steal from the best.

Nov 7, 2011 - It s gems like this that make me glad I clung like grim death to all my vinyl records from back in the day. Priceless, wonderful pop music that never gets stale.

MrRetiredOfficer Says:

Nov 19, 2011 - @GrtSatan When I was in the army back in the 80's(yes, I show my age)I found their third release, Music On Both Sides, which I think was never released in the States. I clung like grim death too, because I still have it.

MrRetiredOfficer Says:

Nov 19, 2011 - I forgot to add that I was stationed overseas in Germany, so what I brought home turned into an import record.

BasswipeNC Says:

Dec 4, 2011 - @Knepperify1 Wow, seeing The Records open for the Shoes is almost the perfect concert.

elgrandwazir1 Says:

Dec 30, 2011 - For immediate release: Comments by Spiggy Topes, K Laatu and 'Performance' star Turner in an unofficial rockumentary aired recently on Fox 'News' (sic), that The Records played shows with The Shoes, Elvis, Stones, Dylan, or Pat Boone. were de-bunked today by their official un-named source John Wilkinson at a reception for the release of a new CD, 'Gethsemane'which includes Alfred Hitchcock's DVD of their 1979 mythical sell-out at the 02 Arena & legendary jam with The Rolling Who & Adge Cutler.
