SNEAKERS - IN THE RED (1978)
The 12-inch "In the Red", made after Stamey's move to New York, is an extended family reunion in which Chris Stamey and Mitch Easter combine their Angloid pop/rock with brooding quasi-baroque clavinet, the saunter of a Parisian boulevardier, even some avant-gardish desperation, all with an air of sophistication received in innocence. Besides a cover of Bo Diddley's "Roadrunner", the record features five songs penned individually by Stamey ("The Perfect Stranger", "What I Dig") and Easter ("Decline and Fall", "Quelle Folie") and a brief noir instrumental. The same songs + the first 7" EP + nine other songs have been remastered and appear on the 2007 Sneakers compilation "Nonsequitur For Silence" available either from the official dB's website, from Not Lame or from any store online. The Sneakers recordings were also reissued around 1994 by the ESD label ("Racket" is now out of print). Trouser Press

is this ripped from the vinyl or cd? because the cd (both versions) has some definite remixing and re-recording that i find obnoxious.
To Angelo - thank you soooooo much, I have been looking for something by the sneakers for a LONG time.....just great work, thanks again!!!
To Wilburdeparis -- get you a copy of UnRarX and put in the password provided then just drag and drop the rar file...voila!...instant tunes!!
I just dl'd the OTHER sneakers you have on your site. Excellent. I remember seeing the dB's in 1987 in Amsterdam, that was fine, though their albums were much better then that show. This Sneakers album is a very welcome addition.
