The Nerves "The Nerves"

The Nerves were a somewhat obscure power pop band from the 70s. They released all of a one 4-track e.p. in 1976. The e.p. featured the original version of Hanging on the Telephone which was made popular by Blondie. The band consisted of Jack Lee, Peter Case, and Paul Collins. Shortly after The Nerves split, Peter Case went on to form The Plimsouls and Paul Collins formed The Beat.

This is the original four song e.p. plus two more outtakes from the same era. All the songs are great examples of early power pop. The Nerves totally predated bands like The Knack and 20/20. This is a transfer from a reissue 10" single that came out in Spain back in 2001.
