THE SHIRTS - INNER SLEEVE (1980)
After Mike Thorne had the band all over the map on their second album, "Street Light Shine", the Shirts' third and final disc, "Inner Sleeve", finds Juice Newton/Jackie DeShannon producer John Palladino teamed up with Blood, Sweat & Tears/Steely Dan guitarist Georg Wadenius and they bring out the pop side of Annie Golden's band on these 11 tracks. The niche they've settled into here is the melodic short songtunes essential to the new wave, which, after all, was garage bands looking to find the most fun elements of '60s radio hits and exploit them to become rock stars. Golden had the talent to ride the charts along with Blondie, the Go Go's and, the Cars, and this album has the band headed in the right direction -- it's just too bad they quit after finding their groove here. "Inner Sleeve" is an inviting performance, especially for those who never encountered the other work by the truly underrated Shirts. AMG

annie golden....what a cutie
Thank you so much for The Shirts - Inner Sleeve. You have absolutely no idea how long I have been looking for a digital version of it. That album came out at the happiest period of my life. My LP album was destroyed over the years. Hearing it again truly brought a few tears to my eyes. Thanks so very much.
Does anybody have "Cyrinda" the B. side to The Shirts "Tell me your plans 7" single I would really appreciate that
I never thought I'd get to hear this again. Thank you so much!
man, can I tell you...a few months ago I was trying to remember "what the heck was that Shirts song I loved in the 80s?" Searched YouTube and elsewhere, found a few tunes, but never THE ONE. Now, my best friend from those days just found a box of cassettes in his basement and on one is "I'm Not One of Those", which was it! The tape was made from my vinyl LP, which had the hole a little off-center, and I had reamed it a bit and tried to center it on the turntable. Needless to say, it sounds warped and skips. Thanks a million for posting this. "I'm Not One of Those" isn't anywhere else on the web!
Please help me I'm looking for
The Shirts - Only the Dead Know Brooklyn.

I use to have the cassette tape and wore it out, love this album. Thanks for sharing.
