Translator (on CD this week for the first time)
 

One of my fave rockin' pop bands from the 80's, Translator, finally had their four album back catalogue released this week (only took 20+ years). There were two anthologies floating around over the years, but having their debut and fourth/last album, "Evening Of The Harvest" in full CD glory is a day worth celebrating!

I know this thread will die a quick death, but I still wanted to mention it! If you are a fan or R.E.M.'s more straightforward songs mixed in with Beatles influenced power pop/new wave then these are worth checking out.

Holy shit. I'll be picking up these for sure...

wendersfan, I found a decent price over at CD Universe ($8.34 each + shipping). Might be better out there, but I didn't see it.

I loved a bunch of those bands on 415 Records, including Translator, Wiretrain, and Romeo Void... glad to hear that some of this stuff is coming out of the vault!

I'm all over this. Hopefully I'll be able to grab these when I get the Fratellis CD.
