Once upon a time—or maybe twice—there was a band of rock and roller types here in New York. They were a lovable bunch, three Brits and two Yanks, and made music together and had great
fun for a few years in the go-go Nineties.
They went to a makeshift studio on the Lower
East Side once, and made a five-song EP—the legendary Shake Your Lettuce—and by the begin-
ning of 1998 had secured some more tape and
time in a better studio or two, and were ready to
do it again. These sessions yielded everyone’s favorite, “Top of the World,” and another
“world” number, this one called “World
Summer.” [For the whole story and illustrations, click here]
