45 Number Thirty-Three



Best concert of my life. Late winter/early spring of 1986. Chinese food in D.C.'s small Chinatown. 9:30 Club at 930 F Street. Fine Young Cannibals. First date with my wife!

These guys were a tight band on their first LP. Such a groove. What a voice. If you never listened to their first sounds, before they "drove you crazy," give a listen to these songs. They are super.

  1. Your last comments made me laugh out loud. When i first saw the 45, i thought, "God, i HATE these guys. That song DRIVE ME CRAZY does JUST THAT!" Now that you've said to check out their earlier stuff. I will. Do you have any recommendations?
