Japan Only release. SKINNY TIE ALERT!! Back in 1997, for a very short time, a version of this album came out in the UK and went out of print a year later, a sad loss for fans of late 70s skinny tie power pop. The Pleasers were all about the Merseybeat side of that new strain of Beatles inspired power pop that was evolving at the time. They were a bit too worshipful of those sounds(and looks - they all dressed in matching suits and skinny ties ala The Knack) to make a dent on the upheaval of the music scene of the time but just listen to the samples below and you will find that this is a band that is great find for many Not Lamers. This CD has 24 tracks total. The original 1997 release had 17 songs, so this one is updated with even more trax! In the present, the sound, while retro in orientation, is a timeless sound. As proud Londoners, the group described their sound as Thamesbeat but you might know it better by the name their music was given by press of the time: Powerpop.Yes The Pleasers were the group who gave birth to the title that defines strong melodic pop to this day. They were at the forefront of the new wave of guitar-based groups that swept through the Britain`s music industry in the late 70s.They wrote and performed great songs with superb harmonies, jangling guitars and pure sixties drum fills, and their live shows brought back the fashion for being surrounded by cool guy`s wearing thin ties and screaming mini skirted girls. Extremely Highly Recommended!
