ACE OF HEARTS

Ace of Hearts may not have been one of the most prolific labels to emerge in those days when the first wave of punk had started to crash and before the indie rock scene well and truly took off, but there's no arguing that most of what they released in their classic era (1978-1980) was brilliant stuff. Label mastermind Richard W. Harte had a ear for great bands (it helped that Boston had more than a few of them at the time) and an admirable commitment to quality; Harte produced most of the label's recordings, and he gave his artists a strong, muscular sound in the studio without intruding on their individual musical perspectives.

Some of the fine stuff you can buy directly from Rick Harte at the Ace Of Hearts website :

First of all, the brand new record by THE REAL KIDS _Shake Outta Control  that has been very well received all over the world. John FELICE, remembering he once was a Modern Lover, pays his dues to Jonathan Richman by covering "Fly into the Mystery"




The Neats--The Ace of Hearts Years 1981-84


The Wasted Years compilation


"It's not a compilation; it's a concept album, a weave and a flow of 23 songs, and it tells the story of a more indulgent, less careful time. There was a time when you wouldn't think twice about staving out all night, or driving to New York to see Mission of Burma play for 45 minutes. not that the music's over, but that era is over and that's the story this thing is trying to tell." 

12 classic 45's


If all Harte ever did was record and release the first singles from the Lyres and Mission of Burma, he'd have earned a place of honor in the hallowed halls of Boston's rock community, and 12 Classic 45s, which collects the material from 12 noteworthy Ace of Hearts 7"s, confirms his knack for finding great music hardly ended there. There's little arguing that Mission of Burma's still astounding "Academy Fight Song"/" "Max Ernst" single and the one-two punch of the Lyres' "I Want to Help You Ann"/"I Really Want You Right Now" are the high points of this comp, but you don't want to be without the Infliktors' proto-punk "Where'd You Get That Cigarette," the crunchy pop perfection of "Prettiest Girl" by the Neighborhoods, the Classic Ruins' smart pre-hardcore stomp on "1+1<2>

The Len Price 3 - Nobody Knows


The Len Price 3 - Nobody Knows
In wav - Scans are included

1 Nobody Knows    
2 Swing Like A Monkey    
3 My Grandad Jim    
4 Lonely    
5 Preying Mantis    
6 Vultures    
7 Words Won't Come    
8 Wigmore Swingers    
9 Billy Mason    
10 Couldn't Get Much Worse    
11 Medway Sun    
12 Nobody Knows (Reprise)    
13 The London Institute 

There's still a liberal collection of 60s inspired mod/ late 70s power pop on Nobody Knows, in particular the title track, My Grandad Jim, Praying Mantis and Words Won't Come, but this time round it feels as if the band is now moving into the late 60s. Medway Sun has very clear reference points to Waterloo Sunset in its languid feel and descriptive lyrics. The London Institute melts into a psychedelic feel mid way through with its guitar effects. As always the "common man" words give everything a very human and warm feel even when the subject matter such as on Vultures (a song about relatives asset stripping an old lady immediately after she dies) touches on the darker side of human nature. For anyone who still harks back to The Who or The Jam in their early prime, the Len Price 3 give you the 21st millennium version...and they do it brilliantly.

EIGHT TRACK STEREO - ZERO HOUR




EIGHT TRACK STEREO - ZERO HOUR

Eight Track Stereo delivers a great glam rendition of the Plimsouls' "Zero Hour".

The swirling organ gives an extra feeling to this amazing cover.

The b-side, "This is what i get" is a foot stomping rocker that will keep you humming all day long.

The Primitive souls (vinyl rip)EP (Aus. Grown Up Wrong) 1987







The Primitive souls (vinyl rip)EP (Aus. Grown Up Wrong) 1987
WAV - Covers are included
So It Goes (Paulino)
Walk Away (Paulino)
Don't Make Me Wait (Borgioli)
Trouble (Borgioli)


Ex-Real Kids Alpo Paulino (bass) and Billy Borgioli (guitar) lead the Primitive Souls, whose 12-inch — two originals by each — follows the righteous path of bar-band pop'n'roll with tuneful flair and serious skill. Grown Up Wrong! was Dave Laing' label (before he put up Dog Meat records) : "so I sat up late and called Billy Borgioli up and introduced myself and said if you've got any studio stuff I'd love to do a record. And he just said there and then yeah, we've got a few tracks that we did in a little demo studio just for radio play, they're just sitting around doing nothing, so send us $150 to finish paying off the studio and they're yours. So I was pretty rapt with that, and to date that's still one of my favorite records that I've done. I think that Primitive Souls twelve inch ep is just a fantastic, fantastic record, and it's really pissed me off that it didn't get much response, but I guess the Real Kids never got that much of a reaction from anyone so maybe it wasn't too surprising. It's a real shame."
