What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



The bands fourth album, and the first to hit the chart here. The last album with the groups
original lineup, as guitarist Bob Stinson was given the boot. Much critical acclaim came with
this one with a perfect score from allmusic. Chart placement of #183 did not match that. Guest
spot from Alex Chilton (Box Tops, Big Star) on Left Of The Dial. First tv appearance for the
band, on SNL from which they were banned after cursing on the show. A badge of honor no doubt.
Three love tracks for me on this with two bombs. No mention of any singles which has to be an
oversight. The move to a major label had to include singles.
