专辑简介
Jordan Oakes began publishing his seminal power pop 'zine, Yellow Pills in the summer of 1990 out of pure teenage puppy love for riffing, jangly guitars, fake British accents and harmonizing voices that ache with pimply adolescent yearning.
In 1993 Jordan curated his initial Yellow Pills release, the first of a series collecting power pop essentials from 20/20, Dwight Twilley, The Rubinoos, The Plimsouls, and five dozen others. The series rapidly became the sonic rosetta stone for a newer generation of poppers who, sans the skinny ties, held true to the power pop manifesto of harmony, melody and ringing, rocking 6 and 12 string guitars. The archaeological artifacts of power pop soon found a home in living museums of the genre from Teenage Fan Club to Green Day.
The 33 tracks assembled here represent the least-heard, best examples of an era that felt nostalgic even the first time around. But heard in the context of today's 'pop' music industry as it lip syncs itself into history's cut-out bin, these 'hopefuls' sound as startling and menthol-fresh as the word 'Liverpool' drifting from Jane Asher's lips.
