THE CHIPMUNKS Chipmunk Punk (1980 US 9-track LP which find the Rockin' Rodents - Alvin, the mischievous troublemaker & the star of the group, Simon, the tall bespectacled intellectual and Theodore, the chubby, impressionable one - putting their musical talents to not so much Punk as contemporary AOR, like Crazy Little Thing Called Love, My Sharona, Call Me, Refugee & more. As ever, the strident guitar of Alvin is much to the fore, but the rhythm section of Simon & Theodore hold down aprecise groove. Think of them as the Jimi Hendrix Experience of striped squirrels. The picture sleeve has a small deletion notch cut but otherwise both it & the vinyl are as new - Still in the original opened shrink! XLP-6008)
