I found this album at a library sale decades ago. I didn't know a thing about Hege V, but when I saw that REM producer Mitch Easter also produced this I wanted to try it out. What a great surprise. Jangly guitars with a tinge of country similar to Son Volt or The Sidewinders. Has anyone else ever heard this album?

When the dB’s first album (Stands for Decibels) came out in 1981, it was a delight—followed by the equally great Repercussion.

What I didn’t know was that Holsapple, Stamey and Mitch Easter were in a band together called Rittenhouse Square in 1972. While their LP is basically impossible to find (unless you want to spend > $1000, or get really lucky at a Goodwill), it's available on the 'tube:
