the doll -- cinderella with a husky voice -- 7" (beggars banquet) [1979; BB26!]
moroccos -- 3d sound -- 7" (t.m.i.) [philly, 1982; more of a proto-jangle/bongos thing]
public servants -- jungle hotel -- 7" (j. edible) [1980; apparently an early project of philip johnston's, w/ shelley hirsch, bill horvitz and other downtowners in a rare almost-pop moment; think yoko fronting the waitresses)
davey payne -- saxophone man -- 7" (stiff/horn) [1979; seems to be some short-lived stiff sub-imprint; beggars description]

fab five freddy -- change the beat -- the celluloid years (collision)
glass candy -- life after sundown -- 12" (troubleman)

the isles -- summer loans -- perfumed lands (melodic)
everly bros. -- why not -- the new album (warners) [great j.d. loudermilk song; prob. rec. about '60, not released until a later odds/sods rec]
