Ah, 80s power pop. This was a great trip down memory lane, Amy. You probably know it, but I'd also strongly recommend What Do All the People Know by The Monroes, a song that might have been a hit had the label not closed shop while the single was climbing the charts.
Great review, curious how this collection will fare... will it gain the status of the Nuggets collection of Power Pop?
There are several in the Cherry Red Records series that are similar to Nuggets in many respects.

Thank you! This song is absolutely on point with the genre. Somehow... I must have heard it. The opening riff sounds very VERY familiar.
You may have run across The Monroes' "What Do All the People Know" in Tune Tag #69 with Dave Tomar last December, Amy! Like you, it/they sounded familiar, so I did come checking....sho' 'nuff: https://bradkyle.substack.com/p/tune-tag-69-with-dave-tomar-of-music?utm_source=publication-search
