Review by progboy January 28, 2012 (3 of 3 found this review helpful)	Performance: Sonics:
Marshall Crenshaw's debut album released in 1982 is a masterpiece of power pop. Released about the same time as the rise of MTV and all those nasty 80's videos, Crenshaw released a pop friendly album that has stood the test of time. Naturally I was excited to see this album released by MOFI and I must say that they have done an excellent job in re-presenting this recording in glorious SACD! This mofi is an excellent balanced mix with a high degree of instrumental clarity and separation. The drums are a key part of the mix and are nicely contrasted and not in your face. Crenshaw's vocals are in the front but not so far that you feel like it is somewhere else (a complaint i have with the Pretenders Mofi release). If you are not familiar with this album you should give this a wee spin and if you like what you hear I would recommend you snag this on SACD. ...oh yeah and get ready to dance !

Cool album! I bought it on the strength of reviews on other forums, and I'm glad that I did. Someone on another forum posted that this record has at least six single-worthy (i.e., radio-worthy) numbers, and I agree. It's one of those records that I was not sure about as I began to play it, then played it again, and again, and again, until I seemingly knew it backwards and forwards. That kind of seductively fun music. :-) Sonically, it's MoFi, and thus lives up to the brand name (I own approx. twenty-five other MoFi SACDs). Great choice... I'm glad that I bought it!
