POWERPOP TO THE PEOPLE VOL 1 (1970-1986)
ZS (187 mb)
Hello Powerpop criminals, here's an exclusive compilation specially made for all the bloggers. This is the first volume - i sincerely hope you'll like it, and i'm waiting for your comments about it if you want more. Most of the bands on the volume are rather well known but some newies have been incorporated.
Prettiest Girl (Club Wow) is the A side single of the Franck Secich 80's combo. Shaun Cassidy's cover of the Who was produced by Rundgren while Utopia is the backing band. 20/20's song was first released on the second edition of the Sex Trap album (the red one). Steve Burdick started off on drums with The Wind (still collaborating as Tan Sleeve], then went on to lead his own band, The Answer. The Tearaways were founded in 1980. and the band was re-formed in 1990 with Greg, Jesse and Perry after leaving The Volcanoes, they are still very active today. The Jeff Hill Band came together in September 1977 and released one single for Chiswick. Peter Holsapple single was released on the Car label. The Raspberries' demo song was intended to be on the Capitol "Best Of" which was never released. The Dwight Twilley Band single was released in France only, while the Phil Seymour song is a demo recorded with Chris Spedding. The Romantics side 2 of their first single was released on Spider Records. The Atlantics were from Boston and have a CD of rarities available through Not Lame. The Razz single, penned by Tommy Keene who was also playing guitar on it, was covered by the Slickee Boys on the Fashionably Late LP. Just Water sole LP was released before their Stiff single. Just Boys fronted by Terry Carolan came from Florida and only released this beautifully packaged single, their sound reminds me a lot of the Spinning Jennies, but 20 years earlier (you can listen to more Just Boys stuff here). Marc Thor is famous for his contribution to the Boston Rat album. Finally, DFX2 a San Diego quartet sound like the Del Fuegos. See comments for details

If you could ever do full uploads of the Shaun Cassidy (Wasp -- his version of "Rebel Rebel" got some airplay here in Chicago), The Atlantics (who just put out a terrific disc of previously unreleased stuff) and DFX2, that would be great. In the meantime, very nice compilation.
Something is missing from both of the links -- I cut and paste them into my browser and get a "File not found" message from RapidShare.
both links work - some bloggers have already got both parts
copy & paste from left to right
listening to this now, while dl several others. thanks for the comp, very gererous doing all the hard work for us. thank you for some amazing tunes for this tune lovin jacket
This is great! A lot of artists I have never heard of (80-90%). Artwork is top notch too!
Might have to go investigate some of these bands to see what I missed - maybe even buy a few (you listening RIAA?).
Keep up the good work!
Angelo --
No offense, but I know how to copy and paste -- no matter how many times I do it, I cannot get the full link for either. The furthest I get is this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/32870063/Powerpop_To_The_People_Vol_1.pa
I've downloaded other things from here and not had this problem.
ok mike
links will be available for a limited time on the post page
click on
powerpop to the people = part 1
vol 1 (2007) = part 2
as soon as you've got both - send a comment - thx
Hi Angelo, First let me say a big THANK YOU for carrying on the work of Powerpoplovers and building on their foundation.
I had the same problem as Mike. When the comment window opened all I could see was "http://rapidshare.com/files/32870063/Powerpop_To_The_P" and I guess "eople" was included since it was part of the word. But I couldn't see the rest of the filename and I couldn't make the comment window any larger nor did the filename wraparound inside the window. I don't know what the problem is but it doesn't seem to be affecting everyone.
At any rate, thanks for changing the setup so Mike and I could download your compilation.
If you use Firefox Browser, get the extension called "Linkification" it converts all text links to real links! Problem solved!
Or in Firefox - Right-click the comments link and select "Open in New tab"

Thanks for making the links more accessible. I have it on now -- it sounds great! And Walknthabass -- thanks for the Firefox tip.
Thanks, walknthabass (you wouldn't be a bass player, by any chance? I'm a drummer, myself). I've been using Internet Explorer but only because I haven't copied all my bookmarks to Firefox.
Great compilation and amazing art work. Angelo, you are an artist!
Waouw!!! Ca redémarre sur des chapeaux de roues ! A peine cette compilation téléchargée, voici les Blog Masters... heureusement que c'est le week-end pour digérer tout cela. Mention spéciale pour 20/20 et "Jack's Got A Problem". J'attends avec impatience les volumes suivants.

Firefox should have copied all your bookmarks over when you installed it.
If not, try this:

And yes, I do play a little bit of bass! I'm just not allowed to "walk it" too much by other band members. Thanks for asking!
Wow, Thanks so so much! So many great tracks - do you think you could do the whole Just Water LP in the future - got one of my fave songs: 'They Live By Night' on it. Thanks again!
Thanks for the first rate compilation!! Glad to see you are carrying on!!

It's great to see the track by the Atlantics on this one. Any chance that you could post their entire album, "Big City Rock"?
Great Comp. Thanks for Post. Would really love to see any (& All!) Vinyl rips of Artful Dodgers LP's. I understand HONOR AMONG THEIVES may have just been released on CD on American Beat label.
Thank you.
so why doesn't the part 2 open up after part 1? It stays stuck on expanding track 13..... and will stay there without doing anything for days until you cancel the action. Is there a glitch in part 2? i've tried three different apps to unrar.
Thanks.
i've downloaded both parts after reading your message
so i've got 2 parts
ppcPowerpoppeopleVol1.part1
and
Powerpop_To_The_People_Vol_1.part2
i've extracted the 1st part with Winrar (using the password)
it unpacked the first 13 tracks until i got the winrar message asking for part 2 (because both parts don't have the same names
so on this message, all you've got to do is to browse and find the part 2 in your downloading folder: Powerpop_To_The_People_Vol_1.part2
it worked well, let me know if it's ok on your side
Hi Angelo
Please upload Part 2.
Many Thanks for a great site

Angelo - thanks for the great work you're doing but it seems I'm always too late to the party. Perhaps if you ask your adoring public for some help and pay for a Rapidshare account, we'd be happy to help! Just so we can all share the great music before the links go dead.
