A GIFT FOR YOU…..
The Not Lame Recordings label operated from 1995-2010 and, in that time, released around 120 CDs, almost all of them focusing on ‘power pop’. Not Lame reissued obscure power pop classics, released amazing records from ex-major label power pop super stars like The Posies, Jellyfish, Tommy Keene, Tommy Keene and many more – and helped bring to light such important modern-day bands like The Shazam, Myracle Brah and dozens of other bands.
Below, is a sampling of 43 rare, out of print tracks from the label – a way to help keep the music on it alive and available so the legacy of the artists’ hard work can continue to impact the enjoyment of fans of great pop music.
I present you to a small slab of Not Lame Recordings.
As always, ENJOY.
