The Lyres: Some Lyres CD Track Listing
The Lyres
Some Lyres (1994)
Originally Released March 11, 1994\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: An excellent, if brief (12 tracks) part-career retrospective, part-collection of oddities that includes their 1979 debut single "How Do You Know" b/w "Don't Give it Up Now." Packaged as a parody of the Rolling Stones' controversial Some Girls, Some Lyres proves to be a valuable introduction. -- John Dougan\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nREAL rock n roll mayhem!!!, April 10, 2005 \nBy "teengenerate" (Calgary, Canada)\n\nThis is a pretty boss platter from one of the truly great rock n roll (garage if you will) bands that the world has seen. The first side of this album is specataular, the second is solid too, although not quite as overwhelming as side 1. Contains a number of true classics, incl. "Don't Give it up now, which was good enough that the mighty ? and the Mysterians actually covered it on a recent album!!!! \n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\n GREAT GARAGE!!!, November 28, 2004 \nBy LP45CDwoman "lp45cdwoman" (Virginia Beach, VA United States)\nAll now must bow at the altar of Jeff Connolly, who with all the permutations of the Lyres over the years fearlessly stuck to his guns. Any Garage fan worth his or her salt turns others on to the Lyres at any opportunity. Jeff's records have that authentic 60s sound, from the perfect guitar sound to the snarly vocals to the wonderfully cheesy organ, but this is much more than an aping of style: Jeff writes great songs! Most fans have the ON FYRE and LYRES LYRES albums, but how many have this one? SOME LYRES is a nifty overview of the Lyres, from "Don't Give It Up Now" and "How Do You Know" to "Sun's Goin' Down" and "No More". Twelve solid trax, including three live performances from VPRO in Holland! And don't forget "She Pays the Rent" which has been covered by none other than Sweden's fabulous Nomads! This is a great, great collection, with the bonus of a cool parody of the Rolling Stones' SOME GIRLS LP cover. Jeff, you're the best! \n\n\nHalf.com Details \nContributing artists: Stiv Bators \n\nAlbum Notes\nSOME LYRES is a collection of tracks including the Lyres' first single from 1979 and live tracks recorded for Dutch radio.\n\nLyres includes: Jeff Conolly.\nAdditional personnel includes: Stiv Bators (vocals).\n\nProducers: Richard W.
