Request fulfilled to the individual who asked for this, and while I'm not in possession of the original artifact, another blogger made this available several years ago. I featured one of the
Wild Giraffes later releases, their 1981 platter
Right Now. Regarding this 45, "Love Me" is a delightful way to spend 150 seconds (or so). Quintessential DIY power pop from it's halcyon era, brimming with harmonies, a ringing guitar fill, and warm reverb that charms like no ones business. The Giraffes approach the flipside, "When I Find Out" with a grittier, serrated edge not dissimilar to the garagey tendencies of The Troggs.

I am the requesting individual! Thank you!
I saw these guys a ton of times from 79-81. A really great live band. I thought the RIGHT NOW LP they put out didn't capture them correctly, it could have been so much more. A great bunch of guys from an eastern suburb of Cleveland. Mike Metoff (Pagans, Cramps, Clocks, Tommy Gunn, Ike Knox) once auditioned for them but wasn't a good fit and they recommended him to The Pagans and the rest, as they say, is history.
