The whole <b>All Four One</b> album was the shiznit for a brief period (Spring of Sophomore year, 1982) in my life and I still drag it out on occasion. "Only The Lonely" is another great tune from the album. <br /><br />Jim is spot on - they had an earlier song called "Total Control" and served it up with a sax solo.<br /><br />As for Missing Persons, I picked up their original 1980 EP(not the Capitol re-release in 1982) based on cover and $1.99 price at Al Bum's in 1981. Love me some "Mental Hopscotch" and "Destination Unknown". When <b>Spring Session M</b> (anagram title to boot) finally came out in 1982 it included only "Destination Unknown" from the EP. The CD was later re-issued with bonus tracks of "Mental Hopscotch" and "Hello I Love You" from the EP though. And a later re-issue of <b>Rhyme & Reason</b> featured a live take of the sole remaining unissued EP track "I Like Boys".<br /><br />Even if I am not a fan of Lady GaGa's many many <i>many</i> looks, I think the cover of <b>Spring Session M</b> could be her.HERChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361888365133381438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3716854468261033292.post-25911552004294385832010-12-21T13:56:50.793-06:002010-12-21T13:56:50.793-06:00Seems like I remember a Motels song called Total C...Seems like I remember a Motels song called Total Control (I'd sell my soul for total control). That made an impression on me. Missing Persons, not so much.123https://www.blogger.com/profile/12242610772765564084noreply@blogger.com
