Album Notes This compilation features The Plimsouls ZERO HOUR EP (1980), their 1981 eponymous debut album, three non-LP single B-sides and the unreleased track, "Memory." The Plimsouls: Peter Case (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Eddie Munoz (guitar); Dave Pahoa (bass, background vocals); Lou Ramirez (drums). Additional personnel: Doug Richardson, Herman Riley (tenor saxophone); Jackie Kelso (baritone saxophone). The Plimsouls were in the right place and time--Los Angeles just after the Knack took skinny-tie power pop national--to score a major record deal almost upon forming. With the instant credibility conferred by leader Peter Case's membership in the legendary punk-pop Nerves, whose "Hanging on the Telephone" Blondie had taken to the charts, the Plimsouls were expected to become a very big deal. Sadly, the anti-Knack backlash took down the entire L.A. power pop scene almost overnight, and their self-titled debut disappeared immediately. The excellent Rhino reissue THE PLIMSOULS...PLUS collects that album, the rare ZERO HOUR EP, a handful of b-sides including an early version of EVERYWHERE AT ONCE's stellar "How Long Will It Take?" and an excellent previously unreleased tune called "Memory." Case's rough-edged songs and the band's noisy performances are almost unbearably exciting, and this is a true power pop classic.
