I remember there being a fire escape in the video btw.

The music you feature is near and dear to me and pop up explosions of treasured memories! Most especially The Records and The Head Boys. Hmmm ... seems to me I've been inspired.. Magnificent post!

I tried to hunt it down for months in the town where I was going to college. They finally got it or ordered it or whatever. I still have the vinyl version, they were pretty good. I heard they insisted on playing in skirts or something and kept getting booed off the stage hence no long tour and no 2nd album. One guy, Callum Malcolm, I believe did a lot of producing. Thanks for remembering them. Jeff I saw a video of Shape of Things to Come on some local cable channel. I tried to hunt it down for months in the town where I was going to college.

Took me the damnedest time to track it down on the net, too, since it seems to have made it on to few if any 1980s compilations. There were a couple other good songs on the album, though the only one I remember now is "Kickin' the Cans".
