JON BRION - MEANINGLESS (2000)

First and so far only solo album from ex-Grays member. The album was self-released and didn't take off, so this might be the reason why getting a physical copy is not exactly easy (or cheap). A lost gem desperately in need of a CD reissue.

Anthology first released in Germany (1983) and then reissued in the UK by Edsel (1985), it was finally available in CD format in 1988.

"In for a Spin" is a comprehensive overview of the band's brief and underappreciated career, comprised of highlights from their three albums, plus the terrific non-LP single "Television Generation" and five previously unreleased tracks. "Girls That Don't Exist" will be re-recorded by Will Birch and John Wicks with The Records and "Everything But A Heartbeat" covered by The Searchers.
