SIXTEEN TAMBOURINES was originally released in 1983, BAROQUE HOEDOWN was originally released in 1982.
Possibly the classic album of the entire Paisley Underground scene, 1983's SIXTEEN TAMBOURINES is a masterpiece of swooning melodies, twinkling keyboards, jangling guitars and Michael Quercio's helium-pitch vocals. Opening with the spectacular "Jetfighter," the album also includes at least three other bubblegum-psych gems: the trumpet-laced "When Lightning Strikes," the moody, harmony-heavy ballad "And So We Run," and the delicate, wistful "On My Own."
Quercio and company even had the (slightly perverse) good taste to cover a track from the Bee Gees' psych-pop debut, "In My Own Time," at a time when the Brothers Gibb were considered nothing more than a disco-suited bad joke. An utterly enchanting joy of an album. The CD includes the quartet's first EP, 1982's BAROQUE HOEDOWN, with the spirited "With Cantaloupe Girlfriend" and a rocking take on the Easybeats' "Sorry."
