The Paranoid Style - Known Associates
Elizabeth Nelson gathers together her Known Associates for another hyper-literate ocean of words, along with great music.
Nelson's sharp wit and great songwriting remains intact...no surprise. And all the playing (including Peter Holsapple of the dBs) is on point, too.

"Stands for Decibels" by The dB's released this day in 1980.

Another in the series of ‘things you find when cleaning records’. This free flexi disc has been hidden away and I’ve never seen it before. Looks unplayed, so I’ve slipped a cover on and put it back in the main LP sleeve for now. Will give it a spin at some stage. Not uncommon, it seems, but I didn’t know I had it so it’s a nice surprise 😄 #vinyl #TheDBs #ThingsYouFindWhenCleaningRecords

Propeller Sound Recordings is having a $15 Vinyl Summer Sale. That means you can pick up the dB's first two LPs, Stands for deciBels and Repercussion, for $30.
Perhaps I'm being judgey, but you’d be a fool to pass this up. :-)

The dB’s - The Sound of Music
Here’s where the dB’s tried to tamp down their more eccentric influences, and reached for some mainstream success. Syd Straw (who also sang for the Golden Palominos) makes a guest appearance on vocals.
The first two great albums were UK only. On Like This they lost Stamey, and Holsapple took over. Then the label went under. Here they were with I.R.S.
It’d be their last real album for a long time… dB’s can’t win.

The dB's - Like This
Two great albums in, Chris Stamey took his leave, and as of the 3rd album, Peter Holsapple was leading the dB's. While I'm not sure it was "for the better", since I thought the contrast between the co-leaders was interesting, Holsapple brought a bunch of great tunes, and the band made a great record.
"I can understand / Why you'd want a better man / But why do you want to make him out of me?"
Definitely less arty...but still the dBs.
