Our resident vinyl obsessive Robert Ham is back for a second Record Time column this month covering some RSD leftovers and fresh wax from the White Stripes, Bill Orcutt, Love & Rockets and more. Dig in!
was originally released in 1993, the live album was, in no small part, a way to keep cashing in on the commercial power The Cure wielded at the time. If it served as a take-home reminder of the band’s brilliance as a live act, even better. North America missed out on the vinyl release ofat the time — an oversight that was rectified on RSD. Sadly, the band and Rhino opted for the double picture disc format for this reissue.
The folks at Rhino planned out an interesting bunch of Talking Heads-related releases for this year’s Record Store Day. Nothing by the actual band but three LPs that the various members made outside the fold. The expanded version of the first Tom Tom Club album was a no-brainer, but I wasn’t anticipating new pressings of Jerry Harrison’s solo recordand the complete score that David Byrne recorded for a Twyla Tharp dance piece.
Not long after he was unceremoniously booted from the Sex Pistols, bassist Glen Matlock turned right around and hooked up with guitarists Midge Ure and Steve New, and drummer Rusty Egan, to form Rich Kids, a snotty punk combo to rival anything coming out of the U.K. in the late ’70s. At the time, the group didn’t connect with folks in spite of their punchy, poppy sound mining the same territory as Buzzcocks and Dr. Feelgood. The years have been kind to their lone studio album.
