5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful..., November 14, 2006
This review is from: Right in the Back of Your Mind (Audio CD)
So, what ever happened to The Stairs? They blew in, released a clutch of infectious, if a little retro, singles, an album, and then promptly disappeared, leaving the rest of us wondering what the hell had happened! Well, Edgar (Summerthyme) Jones is still out there - he signed my copy of this essential cd (if you're a Stairs fan that is) so I can vouch for that.
The Stairs were retro. Not just a cursory nod to retro, but the 'real thing'. They recorded all their output in monoaural! This cd is a collection of demos and a couple of tracks from the fabled second album that never appeared. There are tapes around - I've tried to get copies of them to no avail. So, for now and until the album is released, this is the closest we will get to that album... I'll have to be patient I guess.
