"GEM STONES & POCKET LINT"
80's English colony guitar pop GEMS volume 1
mix by Frank Orrall
These are a few of the bands that had a huge impact on me
when I first started writing songs.
The British music 'zines NME and MELODY MAKER were invaluable to us in Hawai'i to keep
our finger on the pulse
of what was new at the time in the early mid 80's. There is definitely plenty of songs & bands
to go for a volume 2!
