Hi kids. Thought some of you might like to know I'm selling a mint 
original album of ROGER C REALE & RUE MORGUE's "radioactive" cd on Ebay. 
The auction runs for about three more days. The reserve is only $20.00 
and album/cover in as new shape.

regards,  Judith

With infectious melodies and clear-cut hooks, this has to be classified 
as pop, but Reale's rough, tough vocal style makes it difficult to do 
so; the contrast is what makes the record so appealing. Reale, who also 
plays bass on the album, was part of the late-'70s talent pool that 
developed around Wallingford, Connecticut's Trod Nossel Studios (which 
led to the New York-based Big Sound label); Rue Morgue is drummer/singer 
Hilly Michaels and guitarist G.E. Smith. He has a knack for melody 
that's best exhibited on "High Society" and "Kill Me," but all the 
tracks (including the excellently titled "Madonna's Last Stand") hold up 
just as well. There's even a surprisingly good cover of the Troggs' "I 
Can't Control Myself." Reale might not have the sexual leer of Reg 
Presley, but he comes close.
