Song of the Day: 'Day After Day' by the Vels


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!!

Dude, 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.

Holy crap, I can't believe this is still up. Thanks, man! This is one of my favorite pop albums from the 80s.

I was in Philly '79-'83 - going to East Side Club, Love Club, Hot Club, Black Banana, Ripleys, London Victory Club...

A gazillion thanks for sharing this wonderful record! I can't stop listening to it - and all the memories that keep rushing back.

Cheers!

Same as some of the other comments - thank you! I grew up in Lancaster and never saw them live but was obsessed with them. Never thought I'd hear the Vels again.
