Speak After the Tone [1987]
Ghost Of Lonely Heart - I Guess You'll Never Know - Swimming In Pink Champagne - Angel From Paradise - Munsters - Only For You - Tickity Tock Of The Clock - Stars In Your Eyes - Stained Glass Lies - Whats Cookin' Tonight - Girl - My Gals Been Foolin' Around
Released in 1987, Speak AFter The Tone is the band's first full length. It contains twelve songs, 11 originals and one cover ("Munsters").
There's no big departure in their sound from their previous singles, it's the same good mix of doo-wop (Only For you), jive and rockabilly (Angels From Paradise). Most surprising is "Stained Glass Lies" with its heavy guitar and pounding drums that seems a bit out of place in all that sweetness. The musicianship is top notch with swingin' rhythm and jazzy licks thrown in for good measure.
Nice package too with beautiful gatefold sleeve that includes the lyrics. To my knowledge it's never been reissued on cd.
