I had no idea that there was a second OtJ album so kudos to Sheffield for finding this link to a download on someone’s blog.
It’s impossible to not listen to this and not think of what’s coming on the horizon in terms of Power Pop and Indie. Specifically, bands like Jellyfish and artists like Jon Brion (of jellyfish) and Super Furry Animals and so many others. I’m not sure how the addition of Mick Ronson as producer turned it into a LESS guitar driven curio but they did. Cellos and keyboards abound here. I don’t know that I love it the way I did Nearly a Sin but, for a record that NO ONE has heard and was the last gasp of a fantastically named band…pretty damned good.
