The Revelers 'Hard Times, Sunday Spirits'

here's that last revelers record i've been promising for-effing-ever (not their last, just the last of theirs that i hadn't posted…the rest are here & here). 'hard times' is the best recording they ever did, and unfortunately i don't have the weird japanese pressing with them doing "pressure drop" (!) on it. seek it. lemme know how it turns out.

Revelers singles

so, yeah, they're from cle, but they played columbus a TON and put out a record on break up! (and btw, megathanks to pat fer runnin' these puppies in! and thus hooking me - and you! - up with the stuff i don't have) and anyhow it's just a central-ohio-centric blarg, there ain't no real rules kids. short story for now: tommy was in the mice (watch these skies, probably) with his brother, the amazing bill fox (who recorded some revelers recs and lent them a song at least) and then started revelers with some dudes who wanted to sound even more like the who (tommy, with regards to a recording session that sadly never occurred: "will you make me sound like keith moon?" me: "tommy, yer in luck. the guy who could make you sound like not keith moon has yet to be found.") but with a twist: they should look exactly like flamin' groovies. just kiddin'. (not really.)
anyhow, here's a funpack of all their 45s (including splits with boogieman smash, whose bassplayer they eventually stole)!! five (!) lps in yer future if no-one bombs the station!!!
