Notes:

The new disc by Blondie isn't set for US release until the 13th of this month.  Not wanting to wait, I purchased an import copy.

The Springfields made a low debut this week due to 5 songs on my new set not playing.  I hope to work on the discs and be able to get a better listen this week.

I originally had #10 by the Go-Go's on LP when it was first released but gave it away for some odd reason.  It was a decision I recently came to regret as certain songs from it kept coming to mind.  I caved and bought a CD copy two weeks ago.

A song by Jane Child recently started popping in my head again entitled "Welcome To The Real World."  This was the follow-up to her one-hit wonder, "Don't Wanna Fall In Love" (#2 Pop, US, 1990).  I pulled out my cassette copy of this album after many years untouched.
