ahem....
I, er, of course, will have to recommend the SECOND Diodes lp,
"Released" for some great power pop workouts.
This lp is included on the equally great CD, "Tired of Waking Up Tired:
The Best Of The Diodes" on Sony Canada. The remastering is FANTASTIC!
The mastering of "Tired" on this cd blows the Rhino comp one completely
out of the water.
Lots of liner notes & pix makes this cd a must-have (it's a mid-price
item in canada
and can be found ridiculously cheap on ebay). It's a treasure trove
of cover tunes
waiting to happen.

The... er... producer of said cd. :)
FYI- I've been slowly going through the Diodes vaults (I manage them)
and there's lots
of great unreleased material from the various eras in their career,
including their return
to pure pop when steve robinson (ex-Barracudas) was in the band on
bass in their last incarnation (at
one point, even David Buckley from the barracudas was in the band).
We're working on their 77-78 era punk pop unreleased stuff now and
hopefully, there
may be a cd of that next year.
Their 3rd lp, Action Reaction, has just been remastered and will be
out later this year on
Bullseye Records (canada) and BongoBeat (USA). We just found 1981
footage for a "Catwalker" video
that was never edited together, so busy working on that....
if you'd like a copy of The Diodes Best Of cd, just paypal me $12 US
and I'll send you one AIR MAIL!
Same price for international orders (wow!).
