I loved it so much I "borrowed" the cassette from a high school friend, don't know what happened to it. Found the album and had intentions of copying to CD and surprising friend. Unfortunately, living in Arizona it warped beyond recognition in storage. Searched and searched on internet for years to no avail. Just recently thought I would try again and wala found your site! THANK YOU for paying it forward... luckily friend is still speaking to me, I can wait to surprise her and we can reminisce :) so so happyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-66104794496799138982011-10-21T01:59:30.795-04:002011-10-21T01:59:30.795-04:00Thanks loads for this opportunity.

And there I saw such a fabulous cover! It was all black/white except the title of the LP. I fell in love with it because the back of the sleeve showed a hand with a mouth in it! Well, I never heard of the band called "Slow Children" but I was sure that they definitely must have done some pretty good music. I looked at the price and was shocked! With 11€ it was the most expensive record in the whole (tiny) store! And unfortunately I hadn't much money left. So I took a last wistful look at it and left the record shop...<br /><br />Now I'm back home and I searched on the Internet for Slow Cildren and... I found your site!<br /><br />Thank you very very much.<br />You made me so happy!<br /><br />And one day, I will buy that LP, I swear ;)<br /><br />Thanks again!<br /><br />18-year-old student from CologneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-8380298101916903952010-04-14T22:53:26.002-04:002010-04-14T22:53:26.002-04:00I've been looking for Spring In Fialta for yea...I've been looking for Spring In Fialta for years.

I have been looking for years for them on CD. They are two of my favorite from the decade. And what a surprise to get the singles too, which I hadn't heard. I have been telling people about Slow Children for years, and surprisingly very few have heard of them. Kenneth, we met once before at the Try State Magazine party (I'm the other Robert) and I've been wanting to feature Slow Children in the magazine as the "80s Band Worth Rediscovering." The feature was dropped from the printed mag, but I think I'm going to do a piece on them on the blog.

Richard Blade is one of the hosts and I listened to him for years on KROQ (graduated high school in 1983). I've always thought, why the heck doesn't he play some Slow Children?! SPECIFICALLY Vanessa Vascillating. I decided to to to YouTube and just rummage up an old video. Yep - no luck. I HAVE the LP of Mad About Town and thought I'd never again hear any Slow Children.
