Actually I "discovered" The Reels when I checked out your YouTube video of the week for The Dugites-good stuff.[/quote]
RStrathfield's got so many great videos there, I don't know which one to spotlight next!
I'm pretty sure I discovered The Reels when a 45 of "This Guy's in Love with You" was mixed in with some lot of stuff I bought on ePay. It has a really neat picture sleeve (pink, with some '50s-looking chick on the cover), but it's Herb Alpert, and the world didn't exactly require a cover. Regrettably, that was a big hit in Australia, and I guess they decided why bother with good originals when they can have more success with bad covers.
I wouldn't have ever given them another chance had I not run across a copy of "Quasimodo's Dream" for a dollar or two -- not making the connection that it was the same band -- and got hooked on "Shout and Deliver." I still think that's their best track. And "In Your Car" is The Dugites' best track. The latter, at least, packed it in before they became redundant.
