Description
Parting with my copy after many a year. Record is in great shape. A few pop on the lead off groove but nothing that effects playing or listening. The sleeve has a little ring wear and some slight wrinkles around the top but after all it is a 30 year old record. No rips, tears or anything like that (the image used is gleaned from somewhere else. My digi camera is on the fritz and the scanner is always moody. For a better reference-if you've seen the scan of the one at http://www.kbdrecords.com/2007/04/01/eyes-taqn-7/ the copy I'm selling appears to be in a little bit better condition sleeve wise.) No reserve-starting bid is what I paid for it some years back.
From the liner notes of Dangerhouse Vol. 1
"About this time, maybe late 1978, I joined this band called the EYES. Charlotte Caffey had been playing bass and I think keyboards and stuff. She left to go form the Go-Go's. As a matter of fact Belinda Carlisle and Jane Wiedlin got their first actual stage experience as members of Randy's Blackettes...I know this, I remember this, I have photos to prove it. You have to kind of laugh when you think of these people sleeping with baseball players now. Talk about seeing life from both sides. So the Eyes basically replaced her with two people, me and Jimmy Leach, and then we did a record called TAQN, Take A Quaalude Now, a very tongue-in-cheek anti-drug song. I guess it speaks for itself.
Joe Ramirez, the leader of the Eyes, was a cerebral master of the unexpected lyric in front of the musical conventions of punk rock. His musical concept fit into the Wire keep-'em-coming-too-fast-to-know groove, and the lyrics he wrote with John Richey were way over most people's heads."
I will offer insurance and all that jazz. If ya win contact me for those details.price rating
