Thought this might interest a few of you. I didn't realize it at the time I purchased this, but
Popular Front featured a pre-
Lowest of the Low, pre-
Rusty Nails, pre-solo
Ron Hawkins, who at this point is a Canadian singing/songwriting institution. I didn't really know what I was getting into with Popular Front. The tape looked interesting enough. Was hoping for something along the lines of the Replacements or For Against or Miracle Legion - something like that. Instead I got four songs from a Toronto trio who seemed intent on mimicking what Duran Duran were pumping out contemporary to this release. Nothing pompous or insincere, rather a little too derivative for their own good. Decent songs though if that's your cup of tea. Enjoy (or not).

Boy, with that write up, I just can't wait!
Ah, as I know from my own vinyl prospecting, you can't always tell the true nuggets from the fool's gold.

So deceptive those album covers, especially these days.
Speaking of TLOTL I used to have cassette of Shakespeare my butt but it disapeared somewherabouts, any chance of posting that one.
Sorry, I have a not a shred of TLOTL to share.

I'll listen to anything by Ron Hawkins but this description does make me nervous.

Hey there, I know this may be a long shot, but a) do you still have a hard copy of this and b) would you be willing to part with it?
I'd happily put $100 in your hands for that tape, and cover the shipping too.
Thanks, fingers crossed!

Hmm, not sure why that posted twice - I see it happened to the last comment by rivum as well...Blogger gremlins, perhaps?
Hi Mike. If you're still interested in the tape I can cut you a better deal than that. Shoot me an email:
trusty73@roadrunner.com
Thanks.
Mike, if you end up with the tape, any chance you could convert to a lossless (FLAC) digital format?
while we're on the subject of Ron Hawkins/Lowest of the Low rarities, anyone have a City Full Of Cowards CD single they'd be willing to part with?
I'd love to see this on your next list of re-ups! In the meantime, keep the great music flowing.Thanks!
reup please. Many Thanks!
Far from just Hawkins, Popular Front were 3/4 of the original Low (with Hawkins on bass).
