Just for fun, you can download the delightful 1984 album "Velocity" (featuring "Look My Way") by The Vels HERE. It was never issued on CD, but my vinyl rip ain't half bad, so I thought I'd share it with you guys. The super-talented founding member Chris Larkin died last year, but his music lives on forever ...
UPDATE: I'm no longer hosting the album but am happy to send it directly if you message me HERE.
OMG - thank you! I saw The Vels at Grendel's Lair in Philly when I was in high school. I only have this album on cassette tape - never dreamed I'd have it in my ipod!!
ReplyDeleteDude, thanks a lot for this. After a couple of Vels-less decades I bought the vinyl on eBay, but I don't have a turntable. This saves me the trouble, and the shrink wrap can stay on the record.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, I can't believe this is still up. Thanks, man! This is one of my favorite pop albums from the 80s.
ReplyDeleteI was in Philly '79-'83 - going to East Side Club, Love Club, Hot Club, Black Banana, Ripleys, London Victory Club...
ReplyDeleteA gazillion thanks for sharing this wonderful record! I can't stop listening to it - and all the memories that keep rushing back.
Cheers!

ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Thank you soooo much!! I was honestly starting to believe that this band was just a part of my chemically enhanced imagination! i ahve been looking for this for SO LONG!!!
