Additional Everywhere at Once Information

Even the musical wasteland that was the '80s did offer up a few beacons of hope, and LA power-poppers the Plimsouls were one of them. Granted, they're primarily known for one song, "A Million Miles Away," one of the decade's musical highlights, but they had a lot more good material up their sleeve. "Shaky City," the title track, and "Play the Breaks," also stand out, and the quality never dips below wonderful. Led by Peter Case, they coulda been contenders; certainly their wiry pop music was appealing enough. For one reason or another, it never happened. But time has finally caught up with them (and that perfect song), and the world is finally ready for the Plimsouls. --Chris Nickson

What Customers Say About Everywhere at Once:

Tunes here I found to my liking were "Shaky City", the catchy "Lie, Beg, Borrow And Steal", their unforgetable 'signature' song {if you care to call it that} "A Million Miles Away", "My Life Ain't Easy", "I'll Get Lucky" and the surf guitar-like closer "Hobo". Never one of my favorites but I remember this lp on the turntable at several college parties I hung out at back then. Followers of the Romantics, Goo Goo Dolls, The dB's and The Knack should really enjoy this reissue. Originally released in 1983, who could honestly forget this fun-to-listen-to New Wave band. Guess they disbanded after this record came out. Nice.

A must for any 80's music lover. "A Million Miles Away" is one of those songs that is quite simply a classic rock song. The Plimsouls were one of those bands that came out with lots of good material, but never really made it big (save for the many hardcore fans). This album has so much good music on it that it makes up for them not putting out much more. "How Long Will It Take" is another great cut from this album.

Anyway i soon went out and purchased this gem. The worst thing about the show was that due to label issues the Plimsouls could not sell any of their own material at the show. Shaky City, the oldest story, How long, a milion miles, everywhere at once are true stand out tracks and a joy to listen to. A recent double live bill of the Plimsouls and the English Beat re-introduced me to this band. The Plimsould with their strong power pop dominated set blew the Beat off the stage. At first listen it did sound a little dated and uneven, however i am very pleased to say that after repeated listens the strength of this album begins to stand out.

I could probably stand never hearing "A Million Miles Away" again, but I really love the rest of it. One of the decade's best non-punk offerings, and certainly better than the bombast of Journey, etc., that was also dominating the airwaves then. But it still rocks, with a solid set of good pop-influenced rock songs. It's kind of like if the Blues Brothers were a new wave act, but with Peter Case's great lyrics instead of goofy blues covers.

Had this on vinyl for forever- it's awesome to find it on CD for so cheap.
