SLEEVE VG+ (normal wear, very small ring, no tears, no stickers, no writings)
Hugely popular in San Francisco, they were among the key groups to emerge from the punk and new wave scene which
centered around the Mabuhay Gardens (aka the Fab Mab), a former Filipino restaurant that became to SF what CBGBs was to New York.
They were primarily noted for Ricky Williams' (who was Crime's original drummer, and later sang with Toiling Midgets)
moody vocal style and twisted lyrics, riding on the neo-psychedelic guitar-work of Michael Belfer (also of Tuxedomoon)...(Discogs)
One of the earliest San Francisco punk bands, the Sleepers were also one of the first U.S. outfits to stretch the boundaries of the style
into what is recognized today as "post-punk." Featuring the deep vocals and inscrutable lyrics of singer Ricky Williams
(formerly a drummer with Crime), the Sleepers' material stressed ominous atmosphere, throbbing bass lines,
and quirky instrumental shifts that challenged the rigid bash-'em-out structures of early punk.
The Sleepers' obscurity is mostly attributable to their sparse output, which was limited to a 1978 EP, a single, and a 1981 LP,
all on small labels with limited distribution. Williams, an instable character who was thrown out of an embryonic lineup of Flipper
for being too weird, later sang with the Toiling Midgets, and died in 1992.
Drummer Tim Mooney, also a member of Toiling Midgets, went on to work with American Music Club...(AllMusic) OTHER ROCK, BLUES, SOUL, REGGAE, INDIE, ALTERNATIVE & PUNK RECORDS ARE LISTING ON MY EBay STORE.
