The Brains, The Brains, 1980 on Mercury

Self-titled debut album from Atlanta’s The Brains, including a song later made famous by Cyndi Lauper, “Money Changes Everything.” The Brains would only go on to one more full length LP, Electronic Eden. Both were produced by Steve Lillywhite.

Various members went on to play in other Atlanta bands, including the Georgia Satellites. Tom Gray (primary singer and songwriter) later founded a band called Delta Moon Sadly, Gray died in 2021.

My copy—via Vinyl Destination in Lowell MA—is a 1980 pressing via PRC Richmond.

If #TomGray of #Gomez fame wins the #BrightonPavilion seat for #Labour at the next general election in the #UK it will depress the hell of me as not only will the only #GreenParty seat in Parliament be gone it will sour my enjoyment of the otherwise excellent first two Gomez albums.
