Pop Goes the Anthology

VINYL FORMAT. On orange wax! Formed in the mid-'70s in New York by Bob Waxman (rhythm guitar), Arthur Alexander (lead guitar), Paddy Lorenzo (bass), and Donny Jackrel (drums - later replaced by Jet Harris), The Poppees were one of the creators and the embodiment of what soon came to be known as the "Power Pop" sound of the late 70s. Their style could best be described as inspired by everything in pop music just before the Merseybeat scene and the Beatles unloaded on the world. This long overdue anthology finally gives this notable and highly underrated seventies power pop band their due, elegantly chronicling the Poppees short but influential role in the history of the New York New Wave scene of the late 70s. While anchored around their two classic Bomp! singles, Pop Goes the Anthology features never before released recordings, including demos, early live recordings, and culminating with a rip-roaring live performance at CBGB. It is complete with liner notes and unpublished photos.
