Hi all,

I stumbled upon this site as I have been on a quest to fill all of the musical holes in my Boston music collection that are damn-near impossible to find. It's great to know that there are so many of us still listening!

Randy, you seem to have the ultimate vault of vintage Boston bands. Is there any chance you might be able to re-post some of the Boys Life ep, The Lines' Take Me Away (I saw them open up for Billy Idol), The Schemers, or the New Models (I'd die to hear "Say What" again).

My collection is small, but I'd be happy to share whatever I have that might add to someone's collection. I have the first two Scruffy eps and The Neats converted to MP3.

Thanks!
timmah

<br>HI all, I just stumbled upon site while looking for info on The New Models. I was totally shocked to find a group of people who were/are fans of The Rings, New Models, etc. Anyway, I'm just curious if anybody knows what Casey Lindstrom is up to these days, Is he still playing music at all?

Hey. Not that I live in Boston anymore, but according to my buddies who are still there, he retired from music and lives in Newton. Probably just a boring family man these days...

Somebody Somewhere.....

You posted some Face To Face songs about 6 months ago. They expired when I had tried to download them. Will you ever be posting them again?

Thanks.....

The Shake were a band out of Massachusetts. The Broken Glass track was from the City History lp off big Bubble Records. They also released the Shifting Sand ep back in 83. One of these days I'll try to get a few more tracks uploaded.

I'd post the rest of the album but I don't want Universal and the R**A riding my ass. Somebody put the "As Forever as You" vid on YouTube last year and it was gone in, like, 5 seconds.

<br>Bosstown also put out another 7" a year or two after "Memories Fade" that I liked, but... apparently not enough to remember the name of the band or the song. Well, I'm sure it'll come to me...

City Limits - Love Is Not b/w Modern Lovers. From 1984. There you go. A side is a MUCH better song than The Lifters single. So is the B side.

Don't know if Andrew Gordon put out anything after that. This was the last Bosstown release I remember.

I have been curious to how "As Forever As You" sounded by Face To Face for a while now. I have to say I am really digging this tune. Thanks for the great upload, SomebodySomewhere.
