Great Buildings - Apart From the Crowd (1981) [Reissue 2009]

First time on CD for this 1981 album from the L.A.-based Power Pop quartet. Great Buildings biggest claim to fame is that two of their members went on to form the group the Rembrandts. Those members were Danny Wilde and Philip Solem.

Before the Rembrandts there were Great Buildings, one of a series of bands that were part of Columbia Records' Developing Artists series. Sadly, many people missed the chance to catch this early effort from Danny Wilde and Philip Solem. One listen and you know these two have an ear for a catchy pop tune.
