Notes

This contains the 5 different (one was repeated) power pop UK 45 sides from THE DODGERS with Tom Evans of Badfinger plus a rip of their US LP. The UK (Island) 45's were released in 1976. Definitely the cleanest rips of the 45's I have ever heard (from my own copies). Tasteful De-Clicking and noise reduction where needed.

The Dodgers LOVE ON THE REBOUND (U.S.-1978 Polydor) LP rip was done by Angelo of power pop criminals who also did excellent CD art. The Panda De-Clicked it originally for me and I did some EQ work on them back then (1/08).

I did a little more fine-tuning (cleaning up fade-outs more precisely) recently when I had to rip it from my one remaining CD-R after my hard drive crashed. I can't believe I may have traded off my last 'keeper' copy w /complete jewelbox art, etc.!

My buddy cdhunter329 ripped the Dodgers 45's for me. I cleaned them up and The Panda De-Clicked them for me. I added a live television performance from 1976 (Supersonic) and a radio station promo. The Nimbo and Rockits 45's are Dodgers-related (John Wilson & Dave Powell) and I also De-Clicked them, etc. I also included my favorite NATURAL GAS tracks.

I have included my front cover art and the inlay art (which may be reduced more than what I actually used before the hard drive crash!!).

I hope someone can provide me with the one remaining album track (Just Wanna Love You) that was only on the UK pressing of the Dodgers LP. Also the other Nimbo 45 sides (A: When The Swallows Fly B: Noticeingly By) & The Rockits other sides (A: Living Without You B: Love My Love & B: I'm Losing You). You rip 'em, I'll clean 'em up.

I have really gotten a good feel for tastefully De-Clicking, etc.- - I wish I could do it for a living!
