Short-lived Power Pop from Atlanta (Never Reissued)

THE BRAINS - THE BRAINS (1980)

 

Hailing from Atlanta, fronted by Tom Gray, the Brains first garnered widespread attention with a striking homemade single, “Money Changes Everything.” The Brains subsequently recorded their first LP (with a re-recording of "Money Changes Everything") for Mercury, but it didn't sell and subsequently they split after their second album "Electronic Eden". Both albums were produced by Steve Lillywhite  Bassist Rick Price joined The Georgia Satellites. And as an undoubtedly lucrative footnote, Cyndi Lauper covered “Money Changes Everything” on her first successful LP.
