billstandard One of my favorite releases in this fantabulous series of local SF bands. Was completely oblivious to their sound and am now in awe. Why do some bands have success in their day and others don’t? Regardless this is a fantastic release and I count myself lucky to have found it.

about

The Readymades were one of the most influential West Coast Punk and New Wave bands, led by Jonathan Postal. They worked with Sandy Pearlman (producer of The Clash, Dictators, Blue Oyster Cult and more) and were courted by John Cale of the Velvet Underground. One of San Francisco's early New Wave bands, The Readymades released an 18 song album, recorded in 1978, never available on CD before now.

Their single "Electric Toys" was the only independent record to be in regular rotation on KSAN who also broadcast a live half hour of their music. They performed on stages opening for numerous bands including Blondie, Patti Smith, Nico, The Stranglers, The Police, Talking Heads, Roxy Music and DEVO in various legendary California venues including the Oakland Coliseum, Whiskey-A-Go-Go, Cow Palace, Old Waldorf, Starwood, Winterland and the Mabuhay Gardens.

It's best to tell the Readymades story though quotes from the press over their career, starting in 1977 and ending in 1979. This release offers the best of the Readymades, a shining jewel that paints a picture of that eras in music.
