Although the term power pop did not gain much traction at the time, it re-emerged at the beginning of the '70s after the Beatles had dissolved and music began to fracture into various camps. In the USA, bands that remained true to the Beatles tradition began to be referred to as power pop. The Raspberries set the ball rolling in 1972, and young bands began to spring up who really only wanted to sing about girls and having a good time on Saturday night. As the '70s wore on, the new wave had an ever-growing influence on the movement, and even the Ramones donned skinny ties long enough to back up harmony pop masters the Paley Brothers on a thrilling update of Ritchie Valens' 'Come On Let's Go'. What else is on offer? Pure pop bliss is provided by the Toms on their richly melodic 'Better Than Anyone Else', while the Dwight Twilley Band go 'Looking For The Magic' with breathless energy and insistent determination. The Romantics kick up a storm on 'What I Like About You' - it's hectic rhythm guitar, squealing harmonica, and raw Beatles-like vitality making it an absolute killer. Staten Island's Dirty Looks deliver their paean to rock 'n' roll, 'Let Go', with the same energy and drive that any punk band would have been proud to muster, while the Tweeds nail our musical addiction in one with 'I Need That Record'. Also included is the Flamin' Groovies' original US version of 'Shake Some Action', which Cyril Jordan claims is their best ever recording and we are not arguing.Copyright DirectToU LLC.
