Album Notes

This is the debut long-player from Los Angeles's The World Record, following 2004's V.I.P.E.P. and 2005's S.M.D.E.P.

Aquarium Drunkard says: "Sure, name checking a band as the West coast heir apparent to Big Star is a bold statement, brave in fact, but that's exactly how I've been hailing The World Record of late. I didn't catch the bands live act until late '07, but their 2006 long player Guitars Forever would have most likely made my best of 2006 list had I been hip to them at the time. Power-Pop enthusiasts take note, this LP is the sugar sweet from top to bottom."

The World Record ambassadors:
Andy Creighton
Aaron Ballard
Sam Fowles
Evan Way

You'll also hear:
Ted Schumacher on trumpet (tracks 1 & 3)
Will Courtney on harmony vocals and guitar (track 3)
Randy Guss on drums (track 1)

To be thorough, you should definitely look into The Parson Readheads, which is a band Evan, Sam, and Aaron play in and is totally awesome. Also please check out Andy & Aaron's pre-World Record solo efforts, available at theworldrecord.net. Definitely.

Randy's previous efforts are to be found under "Toad the Wet Sprocket", available anywhere fine music is purveyed, including that record store down the street that just closed.

So have a listen! If you don't like what you hear, we'll refund the time you spent listening. The memories you can keep free of charge.

Love,
