Yeah, phenomenal looking playlist! And I was too young to have been listening at this time. Probably still playing with my G.I. Joe’s. Don’t think I got into Rodney til around 1980. His first compilation album was among the first records I ever remember buying on my own.

I know Paul Is Dead from some LA Free Music Society comps, but yeah, I had no idea they would become Human Hands. The studio version of the song is a lot more Talking Heads-ish. That was kind of more Residence-y.

Both sides of this Normal single would be KROQ staples for years. Launching the Mute Records empire.
