In The Spongetones we have been very lucky over these 40 plus years-and it continues still today. Here is a copy of a brand new release on Sony Japan of a wonderful pop compilation called “Power To The Pop”-and we are included on it! We have a strong presence here in the US, but it’s never been as big as our popularity in Japan. We actually toured there once, with the help of Airmail Recordings, and it was the thrill of a lifetime. We were on Sony there before Airmail for years and years. The exciting thing to me on this release is they used “Always Carry On” instead of the two usual songs My Girl Maryanne and She Goes Out With Everybody. I love them all though: they are my children. The list of other artists on this record is impressive-Billy Joel, The Raspberries, The Knack, Utopia, ELO, Klaatu….to name a few. It’s a wonderful package and a double CD. I have no idea how to buy it yet. So proud!!!
