From 1988, please behold in breathless wonder the great Material Issue (featuring the sadly departed too young Jim Ellison) and an absolutely transplendent cover of The Sweet's bubble-gum/verging on power pop/70s classic "Little Willy."
Moah cowbell!!!
As you can guess, I'm a big Material Issue fan, and for the life of me I don't understand how I missed this one until yesterday. Oh well, such is life.
In any case -- have a great weekend everybody!!!

Also liked the Sweet's "Love is Like Oxygen"
The 20 Hits record reminds me of K-Tel records that were advertised on the TV 40 or so years ago.
I actually bought a couple of them.
Here in Chicago, Little Willy somehow hit number one- English chart-topper Blockbuster only made it to 25. I saw a latter-day version of the Sweet in the 80s and came away convinced that Mick Tucker was one of the great rock drummers.
MatIsh were a fine band, but I'm afraid Jim was a rather surly fellow.
And apparently a somewhat unhappy guy as well.
