Milk 'n' Cookies/Ian North's Radio/Neo - CBGB/Demos 1976-1977

Milk 'n' Cookies were a Power Pop band from New York City that released only one album. Their guitarist was Ian North. After Milk 'n Cookies split up in London at the end of 1976-beginning of 1977 Ian North formed Radio with Martin Gordon and Paul and Robert Simon. They recorded one demo in early 1977 before Martin Gordon left to form Radio Stars. North and the Simon brothers stayed together as a three piece and changed the name of the band to Neo and in October 1977 had two songs recorded for the Live At The Vortex album. Some of the songs on these demos made up part of the Neo setlist. I've also included the audio from the video linked to here which is a 1977 unreleased demo version of the song Tran-sister. That song was recorded by Ian North with a different line up in 1978 and released as a single. This demo version is much better. The live show is a good sounding audience recording and the demos all have very good sound.

Heroes - Max's, NYC 6-26-81 (w/Walter Lure)

After The Heartbreakers split at the end of 1977, Walter Lure played and recorded through the late 1970s and early 1980s with several bands including The Blessed and The Incognitos. Two songs he recorded in 1978 (Seven Day Weekend and Too Much Junkie Business) didn't get released on vinyl until 1983 under the band name The Heroes which at the time was his current band. The Heroes of 1983 never released anything but someone was nice enough to to make this audience recording of one of their gigs. A few Heartbreakers songs are played, a couple of covers and a pile of new songs, some of which were only released in the 1990s on the Waldos Rent Party CD and others remain unreleased. The band: Walter Lure - Guitar & Vocals, Richie Lure - Guitar & Vocals, Danny Hirsh - Bass, Billy Rogers - Drums.
