THE NASHVILLE RAMBLERS - The Trains / Fragile Child
With The Trains, San Diego's Nashville Ramblers, aided and abetted by producer Mark Neill, expertly channeled their key influences—Beatles, Remains, Hollies, Everly Brothers, and others—and shaped them into something fresh, urgent and breathtakingly original. Recorded in 1985, it may be the greatest pop song of the entire era. Outside a small circle of fans, though, very few people ever heard it. It appeared briefly in 1986 on an obscure compilation LP in the UK and found new life in 2005 on Rhino's Children of Nuggets box. Both, however, were mastered from inferior sources.
Fully remastered by Mark Neill in sparkling high-fidelity sound, directly from the original vacuum tube analog 3-track master tape, this shiny black 45rpm single presents The Trains as it was always meant to be heard. It's paired with a terrific, previously unreleased version of the Golliwogs’ Fragile Child, recorded at the same session. Deluxe hard cover picture sleeve.
Limited edition of 1,000 copies. OUT NOW!
