Description
For fans of Earth Quake, Greg Kihn, Tyla Gang, Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers - Fantastic live recording from WDR Rockpalast, recorded on March 14, 1978, at the Audimax in Hamburg (Germany), includes the hit single "I Think We're Alone Now," a cover version of the 1967 hit by Tommy James & the Shondells.
Alongside Greg Kihn, the Tyla Gang, Earth Quake, and Jonathan Richman, the Rubinoos were among the musical figureheads of the successful US label Beserkley Records (1973-1986) from Berkeley, California. The label was founded by former A&M Records in-house producer Matthews King Kaufmann "to have fun and produce some great records."From 1975 onwards, the label's bands conquered the charts worldwide with their US power pop rock and received plenty of airplay - as did "I Think We're Alone Now" (1976) by The Rubinoos.
However, the band had already made their debut in 1975 on the album "Beserkley Chartbusters, Volume 1". The title of this LP was purely a marketing gimmick. It was the first LP on the Beserkley label and consisted of songs that hadn't even come close to the charts - some were even recorded especially for this LP - and served "only" to make the label known to the media.
When The Rubinoos appeared in front of the Rockpalast cameras at the Audimax in Hamburg on March 14, 1978, the four likeable musicians (Jon Rubin, Tommy Dunbar, Royse Ader, and Donn Spindt) were already the darlings of the American rock press.
Forty-seven years later, singer and guitarist Jon Rubin takes stock: "This insight into the band's beginnings under extreme circumstances captures the spirit and silliness that have defined us from the beginning and continue to define us today."
