The Count From Boston (Never Reissued)

THE COUNT - I'M A STAR (1978)

 

The Count (Joseph A. Viglione) has been a visible and important fixture on the local Boston scene ever since the mid-’70s. Besides recording and performing his own material, he’s published fanzines, promoted concerts, produced other bands and operated the Varulven label. Oddly enough, his first two albums "I'm A Star" (1978) and "Love & Flame" (1982) have never been issued outside France. "I'm A Star" was released on Flamingo Records runned by Patrick Mathé from his record store in Paris "Music Box". Mathé would later create New Rose Records.

"I’m a Star" owes quite a bit to the influence of the Velvet Underground. The tracks - many previously issued in the US on singles and EPs - are appealing because of their simple, romantic outlook on life. Guests (among others) on the album include Matthew McKenzie (Reddy Teddy), Tom Dickie & Jon Macey (Tom Dickie & The Desires)

Dawn Eden's C90 (Mojo December 1995 Home Taping)

VARIOUS - VIRTUAL POP! (1995)

 

Dawn Eden began writing in 1985 for fanzines and becoming a popular-music historian, writing for Mojo among others. From 1990 through the early 2000s, she wrote liner notes for more than seventy CD reissues. She spent years researching and championing the music and life of sunshine pop progenitor Curt Boettcher and wrote liner notes for several collections of his work. So in 1995, Dawn Eden made her C90 of Bubblegum "Virtual Pop!" for the Mojo issue #25.

 

The original liner notes, written by Dawn Eden, have been scanned by a blog reader in order to make the complete set of artwork for this new volume of Mojo Home Taping.
