Lucy! I'm Home!
I don't know much about this band. Despite the information available on the Net (primarily at http://www.thelucyshow.net/) I find it hard to really know a lot about a band without having heard much out of them. That being said… I would LOVE to know more about this band.
I do know the band was formed in South London in 1982 by two ex-pat Canadians, Mark Bandola and Rob Vandeven, and that they remained together until 1989.
This record was released in 1986 and is simply amazing! It's Pop, but it has a Punk Informed edge and just enough of a Guitar Band quality to keep it squarely in the Pop-Rock category. This is the beginning of the Alternative scene that swept through in the 90s. In this record I hear R.E.M., The Psychedelic Furs, Rain Parade, David Bowie, several other bands who's names I can't recall at the moment, and (at some level) The Hoodoo Gurus? Maybe?
Anyway… It's a great record. Enjoy!

You're Welcome!
Thanks a lot for this post.
Boy, you sure had me fooled:
Thought this blog had disappeared forever due to your comments recently on the YourPalDoug blog and the title of the group, sounded like the title of a TV "Lucy Show" with Lucille Ball soundtrack [cue veteran radio/TV comic character actor Gale Gordon from the show:"Lucy Carmichael"!!]
Hello!.. Any chance to re-up this amazing album?
