Gol Gappas - West 14...

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it.  Such a lovely tune.  "I'm in love every day of the week with you".  In keeping with the mystique of él Records, almost nothing is known about Gol Gappas, though Mike Alway once told me that they were "friends of his from late seventies Richmond scene".  And they do seem to be a band rather than a project put together by Mr. Alway according to his fancy (which brought us so much of the wonderful él world).  Gol Gappas recorded one 7" and one 12" EP, six songs total. And that's it.



St. Lucy is also excellent:



I should get around to writing more posts on the magic of él, but for now here's a nice piece by John Carney from the old Tangents site.
