Sure, I remember "Steven." And Dr. Oldie, the Providence Eagle, 3 Steeple Street, the WBRU Rock Hunt...

A few other Boston/R.I. bands I remember fondly and would love MP3s of:

Limbo Race
Lou Miami & the Kozmetics
Big World
The Dark
Critical Few
Berlin Airlift

Charlie, here's the 3 good tracks off "One Big Day." I don't want to post entire albums here.


[b]Face to Face - As Forever as You[/b]
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?a ... Y3BFQlE9PQ

[b]Face to Face - Never Had a Reason[/b]
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?a ... SWZ2Wmc9PQ

[b]Face to Face - Ever Since Eve (Blood Gone Bad)[/b]
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?a ... V3hjR0E9PQ


Also have the "As Forever as You" video around here somewhere. I taped it when it debuted on MTV back in, I guess, around May '88.



Rob, thanks. Sorry I missed your post before.

Someone put up a myspace page for Limbo Race. Just do a search on it. They've got the two 7" singles there (but not "There Goes Kafka" or anything unreleased).

The Dark had some good stuff. Uneven band, but I liked "Houses R Falling" and "We Can Be Children," and we all used to bark along with "Fashion Sharks."

Berlin Airlift had one good song. "My Heart Ain't Big Enough for You." It fell flatter than the Berlin Wall live.

Oh, finally found my MX LP. (Only took me 8 months. And that's not even a record for me.)


Side 1
1. Turning Point
2. Wine & Roses
3. This Side of the Grave
4. NightTime

Side 2
1. Silver Lining
2. It's To Late (yes, it's typed like that)
3. Let's Dance
4. Look Back
5. Underground Radio

(77 A/B Big Bubble Records, 1987)

I guess they didn't make a lot of these, since gemm doesn't even have one for sale. (Just the crappy metal band of the same name.) Everyone, beg randy to put "This Side of the Grave" up here. Randy, put that up here!

An egotistical and indulgent web search of The Debutantes and Providence led me here to RobT's post and Randy's reply. I was guitarist (and later for a brief stint bass player) in them Debs. I know a Rob T. who has asked me for Debs recordings, so I assume he is the same person. But I can't figure out who Randy is if he is neither Randy from the Living Room nor me.

For a year I have meant to digitize and post stuff, but lots of material (other than a crapload of live shows on cassette off of mixing board)is on formats that need access to a pro tape-based studio.

The original members have been speaking informally of a reunion show(s) in Providence next May/June. I hope it comes to be.

RI music scene circa 1980 was pretty great. Nice to see some people remember it.

The Living Room was Randy's home away from home!! Or rather his home was his home away from home (The Living Room being his prime residence)[:D]

Although the living room was my home away from home, no , I am not THE Randy from the Living Room--he passed away earlier this year. Friends with some of the local bands although I have lost touch with absolutly everyone. I worked with some of the guys from Blue Ruin--don't know what happened to Gregg Allen after he went to Europe--have not seen Pete Trainor since they were on stage back in the 80's.

Rob--if you're still out there I either have not heard back from you or I deleted you in error!!!

Hi, Randy. Wonder if you could re-post the Words "Dancing in my Mind" mp3 from the Rock hunt?

The zhare link does not work; not sure if it's a service problem or if they expired the link.

Thanks and best regards,

Bob
