I found a MINT copy of this LP a few weeks ago which didn’t break my monthly vinyl budget (much) and have been playing it a LOT.
My son, a multi-instrument musician and drummer (ahem) has also given a listen on several occasions despite it being “antique music.”
Here’s power.

@noromance
I heard some of it on YT. Sounds great. What's the vinyl like?
It’s really nice Brian. Didn’t clean mine first, as I was anxious to hear it. A slight bit of crackle between songs, but that may minimize further or go away after a cleaning.

@bdp24 I did see both bands, maybe why I have second LPs by both of them? Ha! Just great power pop, like you said. Plenty of Power Pop/New Wave bands played PDX back in the day. Cheap shows, small venues. Valhalla.
I was so close to the low stage at a Motels show, I think I could’ve hugged Martha Davis. Sigh.

Excellent @bslon!
Did you get to see either The Plimsouls or The Beat live? Power Pop at it’s finest!
The final time I saw The Plimsouls---at a tiny dive on Ventura Blvd. in the San Fernando Valley, the opening band was one whose name was unfamiliar to me. As they played their opening number my gal and I turned our heads and looked at each other in astonishment. It was Los Lobos, and they were utterly fantastic!
I saw The Beat live a few times at The Whiskey on Sunset Blvd., and they were as dynamic a live band as The Who, one of the best Rock ’n’ Roll bands I’ve ever seen. After their breakup (with only two albums to their credit), my gal and I were hitting all the vintage clothing stores on Melrose in L.A., and found Beat drummer Mike Ruiz (debut album only) manning the cash register at one. I don’t know why he left the band after only one album, and was never again seen on stage (by me at least).
