The Swimming Pool Q’s - Rat Bait 7″

A hooky rock riff blended with a jerky arrangement makes me boop my head. This could go so wrong but it dosen’t. Add to that a nice saxophone and we have a winner. “Founded in Atlanta in 1978, The Swimming Pool Q’s were among the first generation of Georgia’s celebrated New Wave bands that included THE B-52’s, THE BRAINS, PYLON and R.E.M.”

Seem to recall that there’s a even better version of this on an album - I’ll try and dig it out; I do remember that it was the only decent track on that album, and that you could always find copies in the bargain basement at record+tape exchage in notting hill for 20p.
