BOS #3 A Tubes rarity.
This is the Tubes?  Must be from the Rundgren-produced record.  I think I hear Todd singing in there too.

Good ears--this was on Love Bomb, which I believe did have Todd twisting the knobs.

If that's true then it really fits in with the sub-theme of the set.

Ah well, no guest stars on "One World" I'd wager.  BOS #4 tho'.

Mark Knopfler must *still* be looking for that antidote for the blues, because if he couldn't get no sleeves for his records then, he sure as hell can't get 'em now!

Cowriting a number of the songs, as well, per AMG.

Yep--and a rather pointed obit for the band in the blurb that AMG includes:

Quote
They got the bomb part right, but the band's heart wasn't in it anymore (even the cover art, once a source of pride, was lame). Dressed up like new romantics on the back cover, coerced into collaborating with producer Todd Rundgren (his second stint with the band), where were The Tubes headed? Were they the party band of Outside Inside, delivering funky confections like "Love Bomb," "Night People," and "Say Hey"? Utopia clones, kneeling at the producer's shrine for "Come As You Are" and "For a Song"? Faceless studio rockers cranking out radio-ready product like "One Good Reason" and "Stella"? There's a lesson here about getting in bed with commercial music: You have to perform even when you're not in the mood. Love Bomb still manages to deliver a couple of decent songs: the by-now obligatory opening single, "Piece By Piece," and the awfully catchy "Eyes." For anyone keeping track, that's two more good songs than you'll find on Fee Waybill's solo album from the previous year, but less than you'll find on any other Tubes record. And so a band that, in 1975, seemed poised to help change the shape of popular music had finally rendered itself irrelevant.

Super-duper long set, and so much way better than I'd expect from 85.  I really like the Suzanne Vega tune (Marlena on the Wall, for you playing at home).
