As half of the Dwight Twilley group, drummer-singer-songwriter Seymour helped create two of the greatest albums of the late-70s power-pop renaissance, "Sincerely" and "Twilley Don't Mind." After departing from the group, Seymour did some woodshedding with Tom Petty (those are his backing vocals on "American Girl" and "Breakdown," for example), 20/20 and Moon Martin before signing with Neil Bogart's Boardwalk Records for this 1980 debut.
The Beatleisms that Seymour shared with Twilley are still here, but the Sun-styled slap-back sound has been updated to a mix more reflective of '70s pop-rockers like The Raspberries and Plimsouls. Seymour's writing (along with contributions from Twilley and Bill Pitcock IV) lived up to the standards of his two albums with Twilley, and Richard Polodor's production captures all of the band's chiming goodness. Covers of Bobby Fuller's "Let Her Dance" and The Go-Go's "We Don't Get Along" are a real hoot.
Collectors' Choice first-ever CD reissue adds three bonus cuts that include a version of Twilley's "Looking for the Magic" that, in my humble opinion, is way better than the original.

Scarfed this when you first posted & subsequently that drive failed. As Sharebee has met an uncertain fate... any chance for a re-up @ a different location?

cheers
