• 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!
• THE SWINGIN’ NECKBREAKERS - IT'S NOT EASY b/w THE SHANKS - DONCHA BOTHER ME (45-9647) serves up Jersey’s mighty Neckbreakers and Motor City maulers the Shanks (featuring ex-Detroit Cobra Jeff Meier) on a couple of raw primo AFTERMATH shakedowns for the loud crowd!
• LYRES - NOW I'VE GOT A WITNESS b/w THE NEW CONOLLY 5 - STONED (45-9648) Boston's rompous Lyres hop up a crack instro whammy on an early Nanker Phelge dance floor R&B workout in a cage match with flip elusives THE NEW CONOLLY 5, who polish off Phelger flip STONED from their unished 1 x 5 Brit LP!The Lyres are at the Ding Dong Room on Saturday March 27! See ya there!
