AUDIOPHILE: DIGITAL

摘要

As The Go-Go's continue to perpetuate the myth that they were the first all-girl band to play their own instruments, write their own songs and misuse apostrophes, Modern Harmonic finds more killer distaff outfits which predate them. This is from the late 1960s, with a pedigree based on the band's Nashville origins, though the cult status is due more to the original LP's rarity than any hoped-for proto-Runaways punkishness. Reissued a few times, and augmented by unreleased tracks, it's soft rock in The Carpenters vein and could have been overseen by Burt Bacharach. What surprises is the sound quality, though you don't have to be a musicologist to guess the era. KK
