Toms, The
The Toms
THE TOMS was originally released in 1979. The project of Tom Marolda, a New Jersey musician, he recorded the album in
his home studio, playing all the instruments himself. In the years since its release, it's become a highly prized
treasure amongst power pop fans around the world, at least those lucky enough to discover it. Beatlesque melodies abound
on a record that sounds anything but lo-fi. Feel It Records is proud to re-release this long sought after gem with 11
bonus tracks plus Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits) performing "The Flame" for the first time ever released! -John M.
