Lately, I have been having nostalgic mind sessions while listening to Love and Rockets, remembering my days as a more or less "orignal goth by default" growing up in Los Angeles and this band reminding me so much of the Hollywood area in the '80s. I had fallen in love particularily with Tones on Tail.

I found out they have a Best of Love and Rockets CD out. Here are some of the tracks:

SORTED! The BEST of LOVE AND ROCKETS - CD:

I don't believe I ever got a hold of any 7" versions of thier songs, but "Ball of Confusion" was supposed to be an '80s dance club hit, though I never felt much like dancing to it. I think they play it in Goth clubs now and again.

Anyway, just tripping out on Love and Rockets again in a nostalgic daydream of a teenage heaven.
