SHAPIROS - GONE BY FALL: THE COLLECTED WORKS OF THE SHAPIROS (LP)

"a 12-song compilation by a here today, gone tomorrow pop group formed by Pam Berry (Black Tambourine, The Pines, Glo-worm, Castaway Stones, Belmondo, etc.) and Bart Cummings (The Cat's Miaow, Hydroplane, Bart & Friends, etc.) The Shapiros may only have existed for a few weeks, during August 1994, but during that brief window of opportunity, the quartet recorded 12 gorgeous pop songs. 9 originals, each a model of concision and restraint, and 3 covers, which gift the listener some of the coordinates to the group's sound, a meeting point of C86 and the Brill Building Sound: lovely versions of Beat Happening's "Cry For A Shadow", 14 Iced Bears' "Cut", and The Shirelles' "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"."
