Promo Catalogue Number Taped On At Top Right Corner. “One Of The More Important But Little Discussed Side Effects Of The Rise Of New Wave In The Late 1970s And Early '80s Was That Plenty Of Guys Who Weren't Sonic Revolutionaries But Liked Classic Pop Tunes, Old-School British Invasion Stuff, And Vintage R&B Finally Had A Genre Where It Was OK To Play Straightforward, Classic-Style Rock & Roll Without Having To Dress It Up In A Lot Of Arena Rock Trappings. (It's Germane To Recall Bruce Springsteen Had Tangential New Wave Cred For A While, At Least Before The River And Born In The U.S.A. Made Him Too Big For The Hipsters.) For Every Group Of Firebrands Wanting To Shake The Boat, Like Devo Or Elvis Costello, There Was At Least One Band Like Tommy Tutone That Just Wanted To Play No-Frills Rock & Roll Suitable For Dancing And Beer Drinking, And On Their Debut Album, They Did Just That, And Did A Fine Job Of It.” – Mark Deming, AMG
