LYRES - A Promise Is A Promise LP

At the beginning of today's website entries we said "The next two days will see power-pop and garage rock galore entered into our website - at ridiculously low prices. We're talking 2015-16 type prices..." Now would ya look at what you can score the god-damn Lyres for!

Nicely priced. One copy only.

180 gram vinyl housed in gatefold sleeve. Includes 4-pg insert with liner notes and pictures.

Combines old, new, studio, and live material - both original and covers - from Boston's legendary garage rock combo.

Tracks 1 through 12 were recorded in New York City, tracks 13 through 15 were recorded live at VPRO in Holland (before a radio audience), and track 16 was recorded live in Rennes, France.

Despite the crazy quilt impression, it all hangs together surprisingly well as the performances are universally tight and energetic. Interestingly, there are two versions, both live and studio, of "She's Got Eyes That Tell Lies" by Him and the Others (there is no duplication otherwise).

Other notable covers: "You'll Never Do It Baby" (the Pretty Things), "Running Through the Night" (the Mystic Tide), "Jagged Time Lapse" (John's Children, Marc Bolan's pre-T-Rex outfit), "Touch" (the Bristols) with Wally Tax, and "Witch" (the Sonics). Also worth noting: Stiv Bators (the Dead Boys) guests on the opening track, "Here's a Heart."
