Private Lightning - Private Lightning - 1980


An obscure Boston band from the late 70s who released one album on A&M Records and prompty disappeared but for those who were living in Boston during this time, Private Lightning holds a special place in their hearts as a band who song "Physical Speed" that lit up the airwaves in New England. Blending elements of new wave, progressive rock, art rock, AOR and commercial rock, Private Lightning just didn't fit into any easy definition of what rock pundits thought music should sound like but they delivered an album filled with great songs back in 1980. It now appears on CD finally and adds 13 additional songs that were recorded for the followup to this album that never made it out. -Not Lame
