MOVING WINDOWS

Here was another record I read about in the pages of Billboard prior to its release. The 1980 indie 7″ release of the single "Lawnchairs" had made waves on the "rock disco" chart that the magazine published and the band was featured as they signed to EMI America and set about to record their five song EP for the major label. It was 1981; the labels were pushing the EP format since it was a cheaper investment that sold for less than an LP price in the middle of a recession where not only was the dollar pinched, but these things called video games were siphoning money from the pockets of youth all across America in preference to records [!] to the extent that even the record industry was suffering from a recession after a decade of explosive growth.
