In no particular order... * The Plimsouls - Zero Hour * Flaming Groovies - (Pick one?!?) * Bonnie Hayes & The Wild Combo - (Forgot the title) * Cheap Trick - In Color * The Heats - Have An Idea * The Plimsouls - Everywhere At Once * Chixdiggit - Chixdiggit * The Knack - Get The Knack * Nick Lowe - Pure Pop For Now People * (This space reserved for when I can decide between the other 192 faves) I know a lot of people are turning their noses up at The Knack, but I really thought that first album was a killer power pop landmark. Too bad the lyrics sounded like they were written by snickering 7th graders. And if you've never heard The Heats... you're not alone. They were a Seattle phenomena between 1978 and 80. That album is still one of my favorites...scratched all to hell though it is.

At Motown, they had a setup via which they could cut a master and hear the playback through one of their AM car radios, because that's how the bulk of their audience was hearing it. They would then mix it with a lot of treble to compensate.

Yes, there's a Danny Kaye connection in that they recorded the album at Kaye-Smith Studios. It was the hottest place to record back then in Seattle. Howard Leese (Heart) produced the album. The regional hit was "I Don't Like Your Face," and it was probably the weakest song on the album. They opened for The Knack on the "Get The Knack" tour. There was something close to Heatsmania here for about a year, and there are a lot of us who are still mystified as to why they didn't make it. The album you have may be a post-1980 album. Never heard it, never saw it.
