THIS IS OUR MUSIC: THE WOODENTOPS – “Give it time”

THIS IS OUR MUSIC: THE WOODENTOPS – “Give it time”.

Rare laser disk master found. A Japanese release of a German concert. Hamburg early 1986.

Song from Giant is the debut album by  The Woodentops, released in 1986.

This album, the group’s best, explores a wide range of variations on the band’s signature manic pop style, here adding occasional marimba, trumpet, accordion, and strings to the mix.

The midtempo numbers here are generally excellent, especially the lovely, loping “Give It Time.”
