Boys, The – Alternative Chartbusters LP

On March 17, 1978, just six months after the release of their self-titled debut, The Boys' second album "Alternative Chartbusters" followed - once again produced by Dangerfield & Steel. Unfortunately, as Allmusic now notes, "Alternative Chartbusters" was way ahead of its time, a hidden gem that was only dusted off and rediscovered much, much later: 'Downplayed at the time of its release as little more than a carbon copy of its predecessor, the Boys' second album has since secured a place in the Olympus of power pop. A combination of the band's pioneering position in a blossoming music movement around 1978 and their seemingly effortless evocation of the elements that make a really good pop song."
