SummersRadio™ Presents... Love Stinks 2! - A Valentine's Day Spectacular! Classic! The Extras!

SummersRadio™ Presents... 'Love Stinks 2! - A Valentine's Day Spectacular'! Classic! The Extras - 'Circular Impression'

Whether you have a partner or not, who doesn't want to get laid on Valentine's day ideally? Just remember - safety first! 'Circular Impression' tells the amusing tale of a young man who's been carrying a condom around in his wallet for some time. The Extras were a band from Toronto that released their debut album in 1981 called 'Bit Parts' featuring the single 'Circular Impression' which became a local hit.

I looked for a copy of this song on vinyl forever to no avail - but thankfully their label Ready Records released a compilation a few years ago that features the single. 'The Best Of Ready Volume 1: Ready Records 1979 - 1985' was released on cd in 2007 and is currently available on itunes for a mere $5.99. The compilation features 12 tracks including other Toronto area new wave bands from the era such as Blue Peter and The Spoons.

So if you're not likely to score this Valentine's Day, perhaps this song is for you - or even if you do - it's still pretty highlarious. Last year as part of the 30th anniversary of the song, a video was made for the very first time from some old school footage - this is The Extra's 'Circular Impression'... Enjoy!
