done, and no.  I missed the intro but the LP was released in '83.  Upon double-checking I see it peaked at 150 in '84, so no biggie.

I Just Love Chrissy's guitar work on "My City Was Gone."  Totally head bopping at my desk right now.


...and Muzak filled the air from Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls

regarding your toe-tapping, check out what Allmusic says:

The catchiest song on Wire Train's In a Chamber is also the LP's most misleading number. The bouncy "Chamber of Hellos," with its chiming guitars, jumpy percussion, dreamy vocals, and rollicking chorus, is actually about a homicide. Nevertheless, it's an addictive toe-tapper, a track that hasn't lost its aura of mystery more than a decade later.

guess they know what they're talking about!

Remarkably, yes he is. At least in part because I haven't heard this song since Reagan was president.

I wouldn't go THAT far.  This always struck me as a McCartney rip-off, especially that riff.

I missed the Wire Train, catching the pair of katrinas instead.  (Yes, MCWG has reached Katrina status.  Sorry if this pees in anyone's corn flakes.)

When Hugh sings this live, does his sing "Five o'clock this morning morning"?  Or does he have great echo effects?

Nice call on the VH.  "Panama" isn't my favorite of the Jah Roth oeuvre, but if you don't like this, you don't like fun, and there you are.

You are correct, it is a Katrina, it's one of those albums Dave MUST sample in an '84. As is "1984". VHM VH.
