It's Hard to Be Cool in an Uncool World

1989, I Wanna Records

First appearance on record. A collection of songs by groups which have no other connection except the devotion of one Jim "Rev Cool" Carter of Dayton, Ohio. Has a version of "Walk to Delphi" with a slightly different mix than the album, plus the unfortunate feature of a fade to end the song, just as T. Novak's guitar solo begins. (the band was not consulted about this) Did they run out of grooves on the vinyl? Also on the collection: Human Switchboard, True Believers, Go To Blazes, The Tall Lonesome Pines, The Reducers, Mecca Normal, The Highwaymen and more... top
