VARIOUS ARTISTS
The Enigma Variations
1985 U.S. 2xLP Compilation

Friday is finally here!
Celebrating with one of my all-time favorite compilations.

A KILLER assortment of #80s #alternative , #synthpop , #newwave and #powerpop with some of my most beloved underground bands of that decade.
Bands like Jet Black Berries, Leaving Trains, Red Kross, Rain Parade, Green On Red, and Game Theory just to name a few.

However, one song in particular was the sole reason I bought this.

John Trubee was a bit of a cult figure. An underground poet, writer and musician whose claim to fame is the song that appears here, β€œA Blind Man’s Penis”.

The song made him an underground celebrity in the #80s & this is only one of about 500 compilations that the song has appeared on.

I’ve looked for the 7” single for years, but have never come across one.

When I saw that it was on this comp, it was no brainer.

Strong cowboy goth representation with Tex and 45 Grave both on there.

@TheVinylApe I don't know most of those bands, but I did win a free copy of Game Theory's π˜›π˜©π˜¦ π˜‰π˜ͺ𝘨 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘡 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯π˜ͺ𝘀𝘭𝘦𝘴 from my college radio station (mostly because my roommate was the DJ & was pulling a graveyard shift, so I was probably the only one listening).
@donutage πŸ˜‚ check some of the bands I mentioned out.
Pretty good stuff.
