This thirty year relic didn't come particularly cheap, but then again what would you expect for a long out of print record from a band that earned a coveted spot on the 2004
Yellow Pills: Prefill compilation? The early '80 was an especially fertile period for power pop and
Luxury, who operated out of the the relatively far flung environs of Iowa, weren't immune to the bug that had thankfully infiltrated so many music palettes of that era. This quintet's spin on things wasn't quite as linear and showroom clean as say, the Rubinoos and Shoes.
Kerry Swan's wonky keyboard lines, and Luxury's overall embrace of speedy tempos slotted them that much further left of center than their more generously compensated contemporaries.
EP #1, (which as fate would have it proved to be their only extended playing disk) falls a notch or two shy of being a wall-to-wall goldmine, but it's most striking moments like "Bible School" and "Eyes of Love" make a case for Luxury being ahead of the curve of their crowded field of competitors. The band's discography is rounded out by two preceding singles, one of which is archived
