''How Pop Can You Get?'' was the only album by musical group The Bats, consisting of Jon Brion, Bill Murphy and Don "Riff" Fertman. It was recorded in New Haven and West Haven, Connecticut and released on the Gustav label (Gustav UA1001) in the fall of 1982. ==Reviews== Called "The Pop(ulist) album of the Year" by ''Op Magazine'': The Lost Music network, the record received much critical acclaim and was even a ''Billboard'' "Recommended LP" when reviewed in the October 2, 1982 issue. The album, however, ultimately failed to chart. In 2006, The Bats song "Not My Girl Anymore" appeared in the soundtrack of the movie ''Nail Polish'' which also featured songs from The Cars, Joan Jett and Elvis Costello. In 2008, a digitally remastered ''How Pop Can You Get?'' with bonus track "Popgun" will be available for download through most major online music retailers. ''"From the cover, this looks like wacky new wave pop a la B-52’s. What’s on the vinyl though is well-crafted, if youthful power pop. This group is only a trio, and from their looks quite young but manages to project a full, powerful sound. Though on a small label the sound is crisp and professional. To those who wake up every morning to well worn copies of the Rasperries’ “Go All the Way,” this ones for you."''– Billboard Magazine 10/02/82 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「How Pop Can You Get?」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
