Pre-Velvet Crush Years

 CHOO CHOO TRAIN - BRIAR ROSE E.P. (1988)

 

Comprised of members Ric Menck (drums, vocals) and Paul Chastain (guitar, bass, vocals), Choo Choo Train released in 1988 this follow-up to their first single "This Perfect Day"). Along their first single, the band only issued a pair of EPs during their short career, "Briar Rose" and "High", which were later combined on the 1988 very rare "Briar High" CD. The remastered recordings would be later available as the Paul Chastain & Rick Menck's Early Recordings "Hey Wimpus" in 1998. By 1989, Choo Choo Train had disbanded, but Menck and Chastain carried on together with Velvet Crush.
