Galaxie 500 - Rain 7"
(Caff Corporation – [CAFF 9], 1990) [USA]




Another single release from Galaxie 500, this time featuring a live cover version of The Beatles' "Rain" recorded live at CBGB's, New York City, May 13, 1989. Released by the esoteric indie label Caff Corporation in 1990.












GALAXIE 500 - TUGBOAT / KING OF SPAIN 7" (AURORA RECORDS [AU 001], 1988) [USA]

Galaxie 500 - Tugboat / King of Spain 7"
(Aurora Records – [AU 001], 1988) [USA]





I'm surprised I have not posted any releases from Boston's Galaxie 500 yet, except for a tribute 7" from Spanish label Elefant. This is their first vinyl single release, from 1988 on Aurora Records. 







THE SHEETS - CANDYMAN 7" (BLUE RECORDS [SHADE 001], 1991) [DE]

The Sheets - Candyman 7"
(Blue Records – [SHADE 001], 1991) [DE]




Keeping with the German theme so far today, here is another German indie pop group, The Sheets, also released in 1991. From Blue Records. I'd love to hear the German band members pronounce their name with their thick German accents. Something about that makes me laugh.






MY GURU SAYS - 3 SEASONS ...ARE ENOUGH! 7" (MARSH-MARIGOLD [GOLD 06], 1991) [DE]

My Guru Says - 3 Seasons ...Are Enough! 7"
(Marsh-Marigold – [gold 06], 1991) [DE]




Another German indie pop release, this time from the German group My Guru Says. Recorded in 1990 and released in 1991 on German label, again, Marsh-Marigold. The band's only proper release other than a few cassette compilation appearances.
