Heliotroupe - Anything Under the Sun (1987, X-Factor)

I don't have much of a back story to offer on Olympia, WA's Heliotroupe.  Sorta bought this one on a whim based on the paisley-esque sleeve art.   Too short to warrant classification as an album, but lengthier than a typical ep, Anything Under the Sun beams with bright, if a bit non-descript collegiate rock with varying degrees of sophistication.  Amidst it's eight selections we're treated to the fairly commendable trifecta of "Won't Walk Away," "Live Today," and "Round 'n' Round."  One might guess Don Dixon or Mitch Easter had enshrined their fingerprints on the aforementioned, but neither had any part of Heliotroupe's foray into the vinyl world.  From what few details I'm able to glean, this disk may very likely have been self-released.
