The Salvation Army - Upside Down

Here's a two-minute gem from one of the founding bands of LA's Paisley Underground scene, the Salvation Army (later known as the Three O'Clock thanks to legal action from the unamused owners of that trademark). I absolutely adore the Three O'Clock, too, or at least their first few records, although like their close associates the Bangles they took a serious turn for the worse after getting mixed up with one Prince Rogers Nelson in the late 1980s.

Some would argue their decline began even before then, as their sound lost all traces of its early punk influence and effectively became the musical equivalent of candyfloss, but I for one still think they were great then. In any event, their debut album in their original incarnation remains a classic and this is probably my favourite track on it. Enjoy.
