PLEASE READ!

Always include both your first and last name when placing an order. Otherwise, the order will not be processed.

Notice regarding shipping and transit times:

Due to the current global situation, transit times for domestic and international packages has increased. Foreign packages that normally take 1-3 weeks have taken as much as three months (or more) to arrive. While some packages are still arriving fairly quickly, I ask that anyone placing an order to please be patient. Transit times of other packages that may have arrived sooner have no bearing on how fast or slow the next package will be received. Tracking numbers do not always update once a package leaves the USA. I have no control over this or insight as to when your package may arrive. If this is a problem, please do not place an order.​

​

The cost of international shipping is the same for 1 or 2 CD's and then 3 to 8 CD's. At this time, I am only providing international shipping for select countries as there have been some territories in which deliveries are restricted or continue to be very problematic. Thank you.

Product Details

Release date 5/20

One of the most overlooked bands of the New Wave era was America's own Slow Children. While originally a full fledged band that included Michael Steele (future Bangles) on bass, by the time of their first recordings they were down to the duo of Pal Shazar (vocals) and Andrew Chinich (vocals & guitar). Their sound was filled out with assistance from singer/songwriter Jules Shear providing guitars, and Stephen Hague providing bass and synthesizers, both also sharing production credits. Hague would go on to become recognized as a legendary producer with such impressive credits as Pet Shop Boys, New Order, OMD and Siouxsie and the Banshees, among many others.
The debut Slow Children album displayed smart lyrics over a variety of catchy and quirky rhythms. President Am I became their signature song with a music video that got occasional airtime on the brand new MTV. Talk About Horses also got the single and music video treatment. A later single, Spring In Fialta, was a high-energy dancefloor stomper that was appended to the U.S. edition of the debut LP. Reissued with complete involvement of the band, who were enthusiastic enough to open their own personal recording vault to add a several never before released rarities to compliment the additional bonus tracks.
