A Skinny Tie Treasure from the mid/late 70s unearthed! 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. This long overdue anthology finally gives this notable and highly underrated band its due, elegantly chronicling the Poppees short but influential role in the history of the New York New Wave scene of the late 70`s. While anchored around their two classic Bomp singles, "If She Cries/Love of The Loved" (the latter track produced by Craig Leon of the Ramones fame), and "Jealousy/She`s Got It" (produced by Cyril Jordan of the Flamin` Groovies), "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 It is complete with liner notes and unpublished photos. "After all, what would be more punk at that time than being in the Poppees - a band that emulated the early Beatles, from their moptops to their Cuban heels?" - WFMU

Alright, just 'cause I didn't comment before doesn't mean I don't appreciate it, been looking for this, have only found a couple of songs until this, thank you RatBoy.......

Sorry for my belated comment. Thanks very much for posting this!
I hadn't heard anything from the Poppees in ages. I had almost forgotten how great they were!

Thanks for this - I already had the big 4 songs on vinyl - the "Jealousy / She's Got It" 45 on Bomp and "If She Cries" and "Love of the Loved" on couple late 70's vinyl compilations. Nice to have the other unrealeased stuff though. Thanks again!

I followed music very closely during that era and must admit I've never heard of the group. Nevertheless, I'm giving it a try. It just goes to show how the world has changed: we hear of everybody today. Looking forward to hearing this. Thanks for the post.

Thanks a bunch! I bought the Bomp 45's when they were released, hadn't heard any of the rest before. Great era for powerpop!

Sorry for not commenting, but sometimes I listen to albums a week after downloading. Thank you very much for this album. Really fantastic. A good example of a great power pop.

Bomp still has copies of the Jealousy/She's Got it 45 - only $5!! if you don't have a copy, head over and pick it up - show Suzy Shaw some l.u.v.!!!

Looks like I'm too late for the link, but can someone tell me if this anthology is really worth it? Or should I just try to track down the singles?
