Well, as so often is the case with bands that expired before the '90s kicked in full-bore, I don't have much to offer on this Philly quintet who played polished, collegiate guitar-pop that would slot perfectly between the Miracle Legion and Crowded House. In fact, there just might be something here for Smithereens fans too, not to mention aficionados of Arista-era Dreams So Real.
Beat Clinic weren't a particularly innovative lot, though

I've got this and their later "No Time to Walk" albums on CD. My uncle was in the band. I can give you higher quality rips if you'd like.
I've been trying to get a copy of "Take Me Back" by the Beat Clinic--loved that song in college (and still do!). Any ideas where I might find it?
