THE WIND - GUEST OF THE STAPHS (1984)
After "Where It's At with The Wind" (1982), Lane Steinberg and The Wind then relocated north to Queens, New York, stopping in North Carolina long enough to have Mitch Easter co-produce the six-song "Guest of the Staphs" at his studio. Although the charming rush of cluttered, busy arrangements and overstuffed lyrics occasionally resembles Let's Active or the dB's — especially when the rhythms turn off the main road and the guitars and vocals go on a harmonic rampage — "Delaware 89763" is a '60s raveup in the style of early Manfred Mann.

Man, you guys continue to either post my record collection (this one) or the stuff I wanted to get in my record collection.
Very accurate review of this. A little busy generally, but House on Fire is great and Delaware a great rave up.

Thanks...a real treat! I had this back in the day, but sold it (mistakenly, as it turns out), so it's nice to have this back in my collection. Excellent blog, too, by the way.

Great little ep that I was lucky enough to find many years ago in a bargin bin along with "Where It's At With The Wind." At .50 cents each, it turned out to be about the best single dollar I ever spent on music. Any chance that you have "Living In A New World" coming up? I've searched the bins for that one ever since without any luck.
requesting a updated link if possible. Thank you
