notes

An artist legendary in power pop circles for over 20 years. AMG said it well:
“One of the most underrated power pop bands of the '80s, the Spongetones released several albums of effortlessly catchy guitar pop that captured the feel of '60s British Invasion pop with remarkable accuracy and innocent charm. While they never received much critical or commercial attention, their music has aged much better than most power pop of the era (late-70s early-80s) and among specialists, they're highly revered not only for their studio prowess but also for their spirited live shows. They are one of the few bands to carry on past the "skinny tie" fad into the '90s gracefully -- not as strict revivalists but as something unique.”

This is a complete high quality printed-on CDR release.

  • Great stuff - if you truly enjoy music don't miss THIS!
    author: Tom Peasley

    This CD is truly jam packed with quality as well as quantity. I've never heard a Jamie Hoover CD before and this CD is an eye-opener. The extra tribute tracks to Bob Lind were also superb. This CD is a testimony to the fact that much great music never gets enough airplay. My recommendation is buy it-you'll love it.

  • Fab, Fab, Fab--Essential

    Boy am I glad to see Jaime Hoover & The Spongetones stuff available here!!! Even if you've got all the Spongetones stuff (hard to find some too), this is essential for the 4 Bob Lind songs. Hoover in various capacities is truly great at capturing a lot of what's great 'bout '60's pop (like The Beatles-- esp. early/middle Beatles & Mersey sound in general), with some Beau Brummels maybe, & smattering of New Wave attitude and various jangle pop currents. If you like those '60's groups, or even Big Star, Let's Active, The Shoes, dB's, Squeeze, Richard X. Heyman, or even maybe The Police, I think you'll like Hoover (& The Spongetones). Great choices for this compilation too. And by the way I think his recent stuff w. Bill Lloyd, Spongetones, etc. is maybe even better than relatively better known '80's material.
