The Vels 'Velocity' LP + Dub Mixes

inevitably i'm gonna grab any record like this - early '80s copyright//never heard of the band//major label//new wavey artwork//etc - outta the dollarbin and at least throw it on the listening station to see if it's worth the buck; tons o' this type o' stuff gets thrown back but by the third track this one was sounding so much like my good good philly friends SWEATHEART that i had to take it home and give it a real spin. imagine my surprise at finding that these here vels were also from philly! terribly fun and original more-straight-'80s-than-new-wave sounds from 1984 here with no crummy ballads to skip. really shines when both the guy(s) and girl start singin' together. ran across the two singles they released off this rec while in nyc recently so the dubs off those are also included!

you're a treasure chest

man i looked fer th' "MORE…" lp fer fucking EVER and lo, one day there it was at johnny go's fer 40¢ or something. anyhow one of the odder stories you'll find in blackslab history, 8-yr old detroit junked-mandolin player joe is given tenor-banjo by janitor, enters seminary, jams while on th' road missionizin', makes records fer riverside with one of louis armstrong's drummers (zutty!). &c! fucking GOLDEN when he sings ("i get the blues when it rains"=standout) and simply sensational when he don't.

both them lps
