Another album that had gotten lost in my music collection. File this under 80's Canadian pop. Works on a playlist with Tears For Fears, The Church or Glass Tiger.

#NowPlaying: #ThePayolas - Between A Rock & A Hyde Place: The Best Of Payola$
Canadian #CD reissue.

I knew about the Payola$ from Never Said I Loved You (featuring Pope of #RoughTrade) on a reggae compilation album that was in my mother's vinyl collection. That song became an inside joke between me and a friend and I bought this CD for it. This compilation starts off with some #postpunk-iness then goes through #NewWave towards #AOR. Stuck In The Rain might be my favourite track.

#NowPlaying: #RoughTrade - For Those Who Think Young
1982 US pressing? It's not on Discogs so I'll have to make a release.

I knew of Rough Trade (actually only Pope) before through her collab with #ThePayolas, from a reggae compilation vinyl from my mother. They make funky synth pop/new wave with some edgy lyrics. I am a fan already, this is my first listen to this album! (I already have Shaking the Foundations.) (And ~ Live! but that's way different!)
