Description

I love The Judy's. I first heard of them in high school in the EARLY '80's in Texas. I saw them many times in concert and they were awesome. Ok, enough strolling down memory lane. You will love the Judy's, too, if you don't already.

Here is The Moo Album. It came out in 1985 on Wasted Talent Records, Pearland, Texas. The album is in great shape as it was purchased to be taped and played on a jambox, cause that's how we did it back then and we liked it! ;) Comes complete with interior liner "The Moo Booklet" with lyrics and pictures of the members of the band. Cover is great as well, there is however, one little piece of masking tape in the lower right hand corner with my initials. I am sure it will come off easily without any harm to the cover.

The 1980's were in full swing. This was it, man! 1985. This was the FUTURE! The sci-fi flicks of the fifties always looked at the mid-eighties as a place where convenience was king. There would be rocket packs on every person's back, children would be delivered by vending machines, and we'd all fly to work in our supersonic spaceships.

While this didn't turn out to be reality, at least George Orwell's dark view of 1984 was nowhere to be found. Sure, we had AIDS and Cocaine, but Reaganomics was in full swing and we wouldn't hear the words "New Kids On The Block" for another three years. As Americans, we had it all, and to make life even rosier, our favorite band reunited for a new set of concerts and a new project!

Moo was released on both cassette and vinyl. Unfortunately, Judy's fans who purchased Moo on cassette are all too often discovering that analog cassette tape is not a suitable archiving medium. Today, after hundreds of plays, the majority of Judy's fans are finding their Moo Cassettes stretched, muffled, and worn.

Those of us lucky enough to have purchased the vinyl, however, were not only treated to a product with more longevity, but also a spiffy LP liner complete with pictures of the band, and an inspiring quote from Zen Koan:

"Does a dog have Buddah nature?" "Moo"

The sound of Moo showed a definite evolution in the group's use of technology. David had invested in a Korg Poly-800 keyboard which brought a new thickness to the sound of the album, and for the first time on a true Judy's recording, guest musicians were invited in. The guest horn section in "Don't Be A Hippie" helped to make it one of the album's more memorable tunes, simply because it sounded so "un-Judy's".

During this time as the band toured, they'd often perform dressed as milkmen. Who else but David, Jeff and Dane could make a milkman's uniform so damn cool?

So here is my particular song and dance... I need to buy a condo for my mom. I need a down payment, that's for sure - I have a start on it, but there are always those little things, closing costs, surprises and unpleasant fees that hit you out of nowhere.

Now, like you may have done at one time or another, I have walked slowly through my home with fresh eyes... Eyes that do not see charm nor character or taste, instead eyes that simply say, "Wonder how much I could get for that, I am not using it anyway..."

That's it, simple enough. All the things that I'm posting lately have a lot of great memories behind them, and I get to keep the memories. You get to bid on some really great stuff that goes towards a really good cause - my mom's new condo!
