Varmints rock with their amazing post-Real Kids post-Classic Ruins sound. Meanwhile Willie Alexander`s 1973 demo of the song "`Cause I`m Taking You To Bed" is important as an historical piece, and a delight to listen to. Re-recorded by producer Craig Leon in 1979 as "For Old Time`s Sake" and released on MCA (both Willie`s MCA albums are now available on Demon`s "Pass The Tabasco" out of the UK), this version has a certain magic that the major label version doesn`t possess. Recorded at least two years before Willie`s `Kerouac" on Garage Records, it features Matthew McKenzie on guitar, Ted Dunford on drums, and Walter Powers III on bass. Walter and Willie toured Europe twice in Doug Yule/Moe Tucker`s post Lou Reed Velvet Underground. Had Moe, Willie and Walter recorded for the Polydor "Squeeze" Velvet album, this would undoubtably have been included. Willie has two versions of this demo, this mix has his "Ronnettes" backing vocals louder...it`s great. "Caught In The Dark" is Track #6 on the new Boston Rock & Roll Anthology #20. Written over a period of eighteen months...Joe was inspired by jogging the Winchester Reservoir...as dusk settled in earlier and earlier, he found himself "caught in the dark." Recording this tune on October 3, 1994 New vocals and a mix were tracked on December 26, 1994. This is the first "rough" version of the tune, an edit from the new Count album "Love Songs Just For You", the original theme of being enveloped by darkness. 1.OK, You Win, I Give Up Harriet Schock 4:07
