RHONDA HARRIS "Sweet Little Heartbreaker" (Cloudland 018)

This week I made a rare order from Vibrashop.com to get the latest CD from ex-Rhonda Harris member Lise Westzynthius (she appeared on The Trouble With... in 2001) and decided to pick up the Rhonda Harris Remastered disc from 2001 as well.

A little bit about the bulk of this record can be found at the description for week 12's MP3, so I will focus on the bonus tracks and remastering.

Side by side the remastered tracks sound remarkably better and brighter in places where the original album got a bit murky and for that alone the CD is worth the reinvestment. Also included are four bonus tracks (including a cover of a Roky Erickson's "You Don't Love Me Yet") that fit in fairly well, and as bonus tracks are nice additions, but not essential.

What was interesting was that several minutes after the last song ended, a demo (?) of Air Miami's "Sweet Little Heartbreaker" bursts out for just over a minute.


Mark Robinson (from liner notes)

Mark Robinson of Air Miami was in Copenhagen, Denmark recording the Rhonda Harris album and would have been selecting songs for Air Miami's Me.Me.Me. (Teenbeat 177/ 4AD) debut that would be recorded about three months later.

This is a different demo than appears on the Air Miami cassettes and I can only guess that this demo was recorded either at Mynstersvej on 4-track or at Sun Studio along with the rest of the album. My guess would be with the studio. After all Mark co-produced and mixed the album.

Though I'm not sure of Nikolaj Nørlund's (RH's frontman) involvement, but it is likely that Piet Brienholm Bendtsen (ex-18th Dye, Test) was the drummer on this track.

If there was one track, there is a good chance that a few more demos were recorded in Denmark, with any luck, should the Air Miami disc ever get a reissue I hope for a double disc treatment with demos o' plenty much like this one.

EACH WEEK (OR TWO) THIS SPACE WILL CONTAIN A TEENBEAT RARITY, COVER SONG, LIVE TRACK OR FILE RELATING TO THE MUSIC OF THE TEENBEAT LABEL. Please support the works of the artists by purcahasing through Vibrashop
