Blind Dates - Don't 7" (1983, Savage)

Perhaps these guys aren't such Blind Dates after all, as I introduced you to them way back in 2011 via their second single, "Radio." Here's the 45 that preceded it. Sprite but somehow cozy power-pop with no deficit of warmth and tuneful acumen.  Falling just aesthetically shy of the stripe of 7" gold that permeated the Teen Line compilation series of private-pressed, late '70s to mid-80s spunky pop nuggets this Rhode Island clan seemed to possess modest AOR ambitions that for better or worse never gestated to the LP stage (not counting a scarce subsequent demo tape). I love both sides of this quite literally dusty slice of wax, but I did my utmost to clean up the audio. 

A. Don't

B. Hold On
