That snot-nosed punk Jakob Dylan has made it almost impossible to Google up our own beloved Wallflowers, but I’m starting to sift out some Web references to the superior and original model.
Here’s a citation of their cut on that Mystic Records compilation disk, which I believe came out in ’84:
“V/A – Mystic Sampler #2
“Record Label: Mystic Records
“Review: The second (in the series of three or was it four?) sampler. There are 2 versions of this out there. The 7″ has the likes of Dr. Know, Wallflowers (no, not the Jacob Dyllan band), Insolence, NOFX (their old stuff was good), Doggy Style, Rat Pack and Party Doll. The LP (blue vinyl – probably a later release) has Agression, Rat Pack, Ill repute, Flower Lepers, Corpus Deleti, RKL, Dr. Know, Doggy Style and a couple more (all the songs from the original 7″ are on here). I’m guessing both are out of pring or at least hard to find. 9 stars (out of 10)”
And over here, somebody’s selling that record for $50!
Finally, this band (also Mystic artists) counts the Wallflowers among its peers.
Don’t I remember something about how the Wallflowers were huge on Yugoslav pirate radio?
