That O Positive CD, combining the vinyl releases ONLY BREATHING and CLOUD
FACTORY, is essential '80s Boston pop, far superior to their later
major-label work. I'd also recommend Salem 66's YOUR SOUL IS MINE, FORK IT
OVER, a similarly essential compilation of the early EPs by this group, who
did the Throwing Muses thing earlier *and* better.
Random personal trivia note: O Positive played my wife's 30th birthday party.
