Your personal edit of SAC’s Where’s One? is totally the way to go, Without it, and your write-ups, I would’ve missed this fun record. A 37 min runtime makes it more inviting and similar to classic power pop. Some great guitar work within.That the lead guitarist/songwriter also teaches rock band at a private school is a chef’s kiss on this entertaining album. Thank for doing what you do, sir :)

That Ed King of Lynyrd Skynyrd was a founding member and lead guitarist of SAC puts the outstanding guitar on this album in perspective for me.
Damn! Oingo Boingo lead guitarist Steve Bartek is an original/current member too. How did I not know about this band? Thanks again
We used to give potential employees at the shop a 20 question quiz to fill out, to see if they were lying about how much they knew about music or working in a record shop. Most of the questions were basic-- Where do you file Van Morrison? Where do you file Jethro Tull? Name five classic jazz albums. But we threw in a tricky one or two, and one of them was, "What 60's one hit wonder band had a guitarist who went on to form Oingo Boingo?" Of course no one got it.
Lol. I knew about Ed King. I’ve made a playlist of the new originals on SAC’s 2012 album Wake Up Where You Are. The remainder are reinterpretations. I’m enjoying it but, it seems more haphazard than the new album.
