NEW NORTON RELEASES HAVE ARRIVED!
•
JOHN FELICE AND THE LOWDOWNS- NOTHING PRETTY (CED 302) Norton presents the great lost John Felice album! NOTHING PRETTY, originally on local Boston label Ace of Hearts, went virtually unnoticed on its release in 1987, as all copies of the LP were tied up in a distribution bankruptcy nightmare. This newly re-mastered version finds ex-Real Kid John Felice and his new band (the Lowdowns also featured another former Real Kid Billy Borgioli on guitar) on ten soul baring original tunes with a strong Stonesy feel. An essential addendum for any Real Kids fan! Catch up with the Lowdowns sound! John and the real Kids head for Spain in April! The Real Kids are at CBGB's on Friday April 2! Doncha miss 'em!
Two new Stones split flippers!
