Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars 80's power-pop .......2004-12-14

The Hawks were another victim of the unfortunate tendency by record companies in the early 80's to cut bands loose after only two albums, no matter how impressive the albums were. Hawks and 30 Seconds Over Otho were both impressive albums that were critical successes, but only middle of the pack in sales. This collection of outtakes and demo versions is enjoyable enough to make one wonder why nothing has ever been done with the two original Hawks albums. Both were better than what most of us remember as 80's pop, but have never seen the light of day on cd. A band like the Hawks would have been a great candidate for a two-fer reissue by a company like Renassiance Records, but Renaissance is no more. Decent stuff on here if you enjoy the genre, but as far as I'm concerned the demo of It's Alright, It's OK steals the show. Someone knew what they were doing when they muscled up and recut the song for the original album, but the demo still has a certain charm. Not vital by any means, but nice to see that someone still cares aside from me.

      Album Description

      A world-changing surprise from Not Lame Archives! Hawks released two excellent, much heralded power pop albums in 1980 & 1982 on Columbia, which have sadly gone unissued on CD. But we'll make a bridge - this is a 16 song collection of songs that, mostly, represent their unreleased 3rd album and a handful of demos of some of their classic songs to round it all out! You'll hear many nods to fellow Mid-Westerners Cheap Trick all over the place - as well as Todd Rundgren and the strains of Badfinger, if they were still around making sounds in the early 80's. 2003.
