Here’s a nice obscure one from Adam who points out the Skip Spence similarity. I discovered the Shadows similarity from the Blister in the Sun Wikipedia page.
Before The Violent Femmes hit the mainstream in 1983 with “Blister in the Sun” The Shadows put out ”Little B” in 1962 and six years later Skip Spence was inside Bellevue writing his lo-fi masterpiece Oar. Enjoy!
The Shadows – “Little B” (1962)
Skip Spence – “Everything Under Your Hat” (1968)
Violent Femmes – “Blister in the Sun” (1983)
