The Windbreakers were one of several bands arising from "The New South" indie/jangle-pop scene in the mid-80s. Like many of their cohorts, including REM, Game Theory, and Oh-OK, The Windbreakers were taken under the wing of producer and Let's Active leadman Mitch Easter. The core Windbreakers lineup consisted of Tim Lee and Bobby Sutliff, both talented singer/songwriters who followed solo pursuits, and eventually became power-pop demigods in their own rite.
Electric Landlady was the Windbreakers last hurrah after a respectable stream of inspired albums. Mitch Easter did not produce this record, however he did oversee the Windbreakers second ep, Any Monkey With a Typewriter, which quite amazingly, is appended here as six bonus tracks. With the Windbreakers catalog long out of print, the thoroughly excellent compilation, Time Machine (1982-2002), was issued in 2003 offering 20 career highlights.

Not to be ungrateful, but last two tracks don't seem to be there.
I'll try to work on this tomorrow. Thanks for informing me.
