THE FILM THAT PUT SCORSESE ON THE PROVERBIAL MAP -- ARRIVED IN NIPPON NEARLY A DECADE LATER.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a rare 1980 movie poster design for 1973's "Mean Streets," the Martin Scorsese crime drama classic w/ Robert De Niro & Harvey Keitel (this was the film's first Japanese theatrical release).

1980

This was Bush Tetras' first EP, featuring Too Many Creeps, Snakes Crawl, and You Taste Like Tropics.

Like my previous Bush Tetras post, I couldn't upload my own files, but luckily, these tracks are available on Bandcamp.

You can listen to the B-sides of their 2nd EP here : Cowboys in Africa /Rituals and to the whole compilation on Bandcamp here : Boom in the Night (Original Studio Recordings 1980-1983)

Also, I added a photo of the singer Cynthia Sley to @vintageblackandwhiteportraits.

Happy listening!
