Mixing late-‘70s punk attitude with ‘60s psychedelic vibe, the “Paisley Underground” movement of the early and mid-‘80s was responsible for some of the decade’s most vibrant music. But while bands like the Dream Syndicate, Green on Red and the Rain Parade hearkened more back to the garage-psych sound of the Velvet Underground, Chocolate Watchband and the like, the Three O’Clock—led by the honeyed vocals of Michael Quercio--pursued a more pop sound reminiscent of the Strawberry Alarm Clock, the Lemon Pipers and fellow Paisley Underground-ers the Bangles. We thought it was high “time” the Three O’Clock’s two mid-‘80s releases for IRS were out on CD, and added track-by-track notes from the band to boot. A Collectors’ Choice Music exclusive!
