On today’s date in 1977, Motörhead realized their debut album. It was a much different lineup, with Larry Wallace on guitar and Lucas Fox on drums. After Bomber it’s my favorite Motörhead album.

A bit before my time (I first saw The Exploited and Kraut in 1982… also The Who and the Clash in that same year.)

But it was the first of many!

Toy Dolls - Back in ‘79
 
All the older stuff has gone, mostly large size left. I'll check through what's left and make a list. Tho I have listed it on vinted. So if you have access to that you can see what's left. If not I'll get the list sorted.

Looked under punk rock shirts.

Are you the seller called Gildan?
 
When I was a kid - like 12,13 years old, I listens to music on the radio all the time. There was so much power pop on FM radio, it was amazing.

Elvis Costello, Cheap Trick, The Cars, The Knack, The Vapors.

I loved this song. Heard it maybe 5 times on Z95 (local FM radio). Forgot about it for 20 years and then redound it using the internet.

XTC - Making Plans for Nigel

Released on Drums and Wires, released on this day in 1979.
 
Another power pop gem. Released on today’s date in 1979.

Nick Lowe - Cruel To Be Kind
 
Speaking of power pop and Z95, I recall hearing this one occasionally around the same time. Another song I loved, but couldn’t find again till the advent of the internet.

Altho this sez 1976, I think it came out in the 1978/79 timeframe.

Flash and The Pan - Hey St Peter
