Boxing Day 2019

 Yeah, it's Boxing Day

This isn't a box.
It's a record.
It's square though.
(at least the cover is.
the record itself is
a flat disc shape.
Not a square.)
Perhaps, though
the cover could
in a pinch serve
as one side of a cube
of some sort
then it would be part
of a box.

So then this is
a potential part
of a box.

Revere (1980)

All signs point to this 12" slice of rhythm & new wave point being a New York City creation. I'm basing this on the label address and where it was recorded. Of a minor bit of interest is that it was produced by session musician (for folks like Brian Eno) and touring band member for Talking Heads, Busta Jones. (He also played bass with Jerry Harrison's side project the Escalators)

Of further minor interest will follow in the next post and concerns the drummer, Lisa Wexler.

 A quick google turns up that she is the daughter of Jerry Wexler, famed executive and producer for Atlantic Records. I did not put those dots together until just now, but isn't actually the thread I'm looking at to link to the next post....
