Glad to see someone putting LT on the web.
L...Hi,<br /><br />Glad to see someone putting LT on the web.<br /><br />Love Tractor were in the first wave of Athens, GA bands, like the Side Effects and Pylon, that came about in the wake of the success of the B-52's in 1979. REM were a bit late to the show and got started a bit later than everyone else.<br /><br />Their 1st LP is titled: "Love Tractor" and has the red and gold cover you posted as a jpg It was released in 1981. In 1982 'Till the Cows Come home came out, an ep with a cover of Kraftwerk's 'Neon Lights' as a cover, where they actually sang! Next was Around the Bend in '83, then Wheels of Pleasure in '84, then Spaceship in '87 on the VERY ill-fated BigTime label. By this time the early LT was on CD and was available, but I still have my original vinyl of the classic first 3 releases.<br /><br />These two tracks are from 1981 from the first LP, released before REM did a thing and after Pylon released their first sides of wax.<br /><br />-DJ Ben<br />WUVT AM/FM, Blacksburg, VA<br />& Washington DCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
