The Cretones

Varese Vintage brings the 1980 Planet Records debut of power-pop band The Cretones to CD.  Though The Cretones were overshadowed at the time by Linda Ronstadt's having covered three of their songs on her new wave-influenced Mad Love album, this reissue gives the four-person group headed by Mark Goldenberg and Peter Bernstein a chance to shine.  This remastered edition boasts three previously unreleased bonus tracks: "Mood Vertigo," "Quit It," and "Taking the World with Kisses."
