    • Discography
  • 7" « I Don't Want Nobody » b/w « You're The One » (USA [Bomp! #117] 6/1978) « I Don’t Want Nobody », is a rocker so typical of the New-York sound that one would swear it came directly from The Heartbreakers’ «L.A.M.F.» sessions. Really sounds like a (pretty good) poppier outtake ! Recommended. See the article entitled "Poppees - Boyfriends - Sorrows : a Retrospective"
  • 7" « Wrapped Up In A Dream » b/w « It's The Same Old Song » (USA [Signal Records #BR01] 1981) « Wrapped Up In A Dream » sounds like amateur-ish Wings which is *great*. Thanks to Chuck Warner for having included it in his TEEN LINE series (vol.6).
