Artful Dodger

The power-pop precursor band Artful Dodger hailed from Virginia.  Influenced by The Beatles and Rolling Stones, the group cut three albums on Columbia between 1975 and 1977.  The Complete Columbia Recordings contains these three albums, often compared to The Raspberries' finest work, plus the band's single sides.  It has been remastered by Maria Triana at Battery Studios.  Jeremy Cargill's notes features new quotes from the band.
