  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Italian pressing from the Rave Up label. Sharp, clear, warm remaster of original 1977-78 studio recordings by Victoria, BC, producer Joby Baker. Joby had two projects he produced up for Grammys this year. Original recordings done on 4 and 8 track reel to reel.

    ‘I don’t know much about this Canadian New Wave band that made these brilliant recordings in ’77 & ’78. Why they aren’t legends is hard to say.’ Roctober (Chicago)

    “Largely unappreciated when they originally existed between 1976-81, these underground icons merged Television’s guitar work, Big Star’s pop prowess, Pere Ubu’s dementia, & the Ramones’ urgency.” Jonathon Cummins, Montreal Mirror

    "Brainy crackpot art-pop with an ear for off-kilter melody, a headful of magic & twitchy grooves to burn. It's a sin the Scenics have left such a faint mark on punk-rock history... but the reborn cult starts here.” Ben Rayner, Toronto Star

    FREE - "How Does It Feel To Be Loved: The Scenics Play the Velvet Underground" CD with each order. (Top 10 CDs of 2008 Jeffrey Morgan, Village Voice. "The best VU tribute album ever... the Scenics don't ape the Velvets, they enhance them...” Detroit Metro Times. ”Stunning in the same way that the Byrds playing Bob Dylan was so stellar. This is a must...8/10” Johnson Cummins, The Montreal Mirror. Top 30, national Canadian campus charts.

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Extensive liner notes by Colin Brunton, director of the Last Pogo and The Last Pogo Jumps Again, (Line producer on the Hedwig and the Angry Inch movie!) tell the story of the summer of 1977 day when he first met and first heard the Scenics. Sound is powerful, clear and nuanced- it's a new remaster by celebrated producer Joby Baker and it sounds like the original four track reel to reels, but better! Designed by award-winning designer David Montle, who has worked with The Scenics since 1979. Features photos by Brian Molyneaux and Rodney Bowes, including the photo used on the new Scenics T-shirt.

lyrics

So Fine Andy Meyers

You ignored me for Far too long but
Now you see I’m strong I hold your hand
And you know I’m yours All you ever wanted and

the moon and stars are ours alone
the planets are just yours and mine
our love is so fine
the moon shines for you alone
the sun sets in the sky
in shame when you walk by

I’m sad when we must sleep apart
I know how you feel I see it In your eyes
I love you because you’re someone I can talk to
who knows why you love me I’m such a lucky guy

we climbed a mountain of love, where we were sent a sign
to show us our love’s fine
and if you wanted the stars above
they’d have to be cleansed by me
to match your purity

We’re joined together you and I my arm is your arm now
I see what you see I feel what you feel
my thoughts fit your thoughts my legs fit your legs

I’ll hug you I’ll hold you, never let you go
Never let you go

about

Dream Tower Records Toronto, Ontario

Vintage/current music by Toronto protopunk legends The Scenics & related projects.

“It wasn't so much that The Scenics were ahead of their time in 1977, it's more that almost everybody else didn't even know what time it was.
New York had Talking Heads, and England was blessed with XTC, but here was their equal in Toronto...”
Bob Mersereau, author "the Top 100 Canadian Albums"
