Polo - s/t ep (1986, D&C)

Might as well get my annual token "new romantic" post out of the way for 2012.  Truth be told, I don't know the first thing about Polo (the band or the game).  I purchased this record in a bundle on Ebay sometime ago.  Really liked the sleeve, but anyway.  In case anyone is wondering what type of music I cut my teeth on back in the early '80s, this record is fairly representative.  Polo were an androgynous as all-get-out bunch of guys with hair teased to the heavens, and would've slotted in just fine with Duran, ABC, Living in a Box, and lesser knows like Tictoc.  Thoroughly competent if anything else.  Oddly enough, "We Can Work It Out" isn't the Beatles tune.  Go figure.  A fanclub address on the back sleeve indicates that they were products of Claremont, CA, or thereabouts.  Enjoy, and comment as you see fit.
