Hughesy's assessment: A reference on the Elvis Costello mailing list put me onto this classy little batch of power pop. It might be close to thirty years since the heyday of this sort of thing (I'm thinking Tom Petty and The Records as two fairly obvious operations out of the same ball park), but $9.99 from CD Baby will get you the MP3 version of this rather good album. Label Hughesy as impressed. Impressive.
