(2018) Yung Wu - Shore Leave (1987, Reissue )
Review:
Feelies fans have long been aware of the strange and delightful parallel universe that is Yung Wu, a band featuring the same members (Glen Mercer, Bill Million, Brenda Sauter, Stan Demeski, and Dave Weckerman) supplemented by Speed the Plow keyboardist John Baumgartner and with the usually shy, quiet Weckerman taking on lead singing and songwriting duties. Released in 1987 on Coyote Records, the album made some waves on college radio before quietly going out of print, which has been its status until this year’s just-passed Record Store Day. There’s been ample debate on social media regarding the benefits and drawbacks of Record Store Day, with cynics complaining of long lines of opportunists grabbing many of the day’s rare, limited press releases only to turn around and sell online at a quick profit. Sure, indie record store owners still get the benefit of those sales, but the complainants will argue “At what cost?” Meanwhile, well-intentioned artists who make this material available often hear complaints about the inflated post-Record Store Day prices of the online auctions. Bar-None’s aligning the re-release of Yung Wu’s lone album Shore Leave to Record Store Day is a kind of counter-argument to the cynics because this is an example of something that will benefit everyone, most importantly, the fans themselves.
