THE RECORDS - Rock and Roll Love Letter (12" Single)



Here's one from another of the superb power pop acts to emerge in the late 1970s - The Records.

The Records were a British band most remembered for their debut single Starry Eyes, which is undoubtedly a timeless power pop classic and what I consider to be one of the greatest singles in the history of rock 'n' roll. The band's non-LP follow-up single, a cover of Tim Moore's Rock and Roll Love Letter, is also brilliant, but much less discussed.

The 12" single also includes another track that never appeared on an LP, Wives and Mothers of Tomorrow, in addition to an excellent live version of Starry Eyes.
