"13 ripping songs totalling 33 minutes from the original 20-song 65 minute master reel tapes, recorded in early February 1978 for producers Flo & Eddie, the night before DMZ (the raw-assed pre-Lyres outfit that never made it!) spent 3 days trapped by a blizzard recording their Sire album" 00:00 Mighty Idy #1 02:29 Bad Attitude 05:29 Baby Boom 07:42 Out Of Our Tree 10:52 From Home 12:28 Shirt Loop (not recorded for Sire LP) 14:14 Boy From Nowhere (not recorded for Sire LP) 15:47 When I Get Off (not recorded for Sire LP) 20:26 Destroyer 22:36 He's Waitin' (not recorded for Sire LP) 25:08 Do Not Enter 27:31 I Don't Know When To Stop (not recorded for Sire LP) 30:31 Mighty Idy #2 Kapital Ink zine: “In the annals of R&R history, as far as local American rock’n’roll scenes go, Boston is hardly ever looked upon in the same shining light as, say, NY, Detroit, San Francisco or even Austin or Seattle. Unlike those other towns, there’s never even been a definitive book about the scene. Maybe it’s because Boston is a perennial hard-luck place (just witness the Red Sox) with a serious New York inferiority complex hanging over its head. Boston is ignored by the industry at large, despite the fact that the city has spawned countless heavyweights in both a commercial (Aerosmith, Boston, the Cars) and aesthetic (Modern Lovers, Real Kids, Mission Of Burma) (Crypt editor note: and DMZ!! and LYRES!!) sense. Boston was the first US city to directly reflect the influence of the Velvet Underground, as epitomized by the Modern Lovers, who’ve proven to be almost as influential in their own right. Fast forward to the days of hardcore, and Boston was one of the pre-eminent strongholds of shave-head mania, shoring up its rep as an angry, intolerant New England outpost. Naturally the town has produced more than its share of local legends: Willie Alexander (who actually was in the Velvet Underground, albeit when the band was on its Lou Reed-less last legs); Jonathan Richman (geekus supremus – no small thing considering the subsequent indie hordes, to whom he’s a savior); and most of all, the great Real Kids, (Crypt editor note: and DMZ!! and LYRES!!) who could’ve been the equivalent of the MC5, Stooges or Flamin’ Groovies in the annals of American rock if it hadn’t been for a series of bad breaks… but let’s not get into that because it’ll only reinforce Boston’s eternal self-pitying plight. The fact is, the scene in Boston was more or less built by a string of bands who are so organically-interconnected that it seems like an act of God.” ***All materials belong to their respective copyright owners and are shared here for informational purposes only.
