Having just been to a vinyl show and almost picking this up, but passing because the seller wanted too much, the AZ Local blog tapped into my mind and has made it available.
Spooner is most widely known for the fact that Garbage drummer Butch Vig and guitarist Duke Erikson started out in it. The band was a pure power pop outfit that formed in Madison, Wisconsin in 1979 and lasted through three LPs into 1990. The first album, Every Corner Dance, came out in 1982 and sounded something like a more aggressive Shoes or a less experimental dB's. In fact, the album was produced by Gary Klebe of Shoes.
Every Corner Dance has a few moments that hold up among the power pop greats, including opener Will You Remember Me?, as well as Jackie and Poor Harold. The entire LP is an enjoyable slice of power pop history that any fan of the genre is sure to enjoy.
A big "thank you" to AZ Local for posting! Head on over to check it out.
