There is plenty to like on this collection of late '70 and early '80s tunes from Chicago and other parts of Illinois. The only real "name" act on this collection is Power-Pop legends Shoes, who contribute the great "In My Arms Again". Among the rest of the obscure cast are a few real jewels, including "It's a Miracle" by The Names, the Cheap Trick-sounding "Tonight" by Kevin Lee & Heartbeat, "Diamonds in the Rough" by The Vertebrats, "Schoolyard" by Northshore, and "Where Are You Now" by Tom Orsi.

Just dropped in (long time almost 3-4 months) to see what's new and was so glad to see you latest posts using mediafire and mega instead of netkups. I have been unable to listen to any of your posts since last October when Netkups quit working for me. Never could find out why (even tried an older one again on netkups and still unable to dl. So nice to be able to listen again. You have such wonderful posts. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for sharing this! I bought a Nines record years ago and never have been able to hear the thing.
