Flyboys - Complete Flyboys - 1978-1980The very first release on Frontier Records in March 1980 was an EP by FLYBOYS, a power pop punk band that began in 1977 with singer songwriter John Curry and Jim "Trash" Decker from THE CROWD (and tangentially, Jay from THE SIMPLETONES, who would later sign to Posh Boy.)

The very first release on Frontier Records in March 1980 was an EP by FLYBOYS, a power pop/punk band that began in 1977 with singer/songwriter John Curry and Jim "Trash" Decker from THE CROWD (and tangentially, Jay from THE SIMPLETONES, who would later sign to Posh Boy.) FLYBOYS gigged all over the southland, paying their dues opening for every national and local punk band from Huntington Beach to Hollywood. They were anything but typical punks - they wore day-glo clothes and Cuban heels and the songs were maddeningly catchy. Catchy hooks and John Curry's bleached-blonde, spikey pompadour were the bands trademarks. Their first release was the ultra-rare Square City/Crayon World 45. Frontier's Lisa Fancher interviewed FLYBOYS for the LA Herald Examiner as she was a super fan, and got the notion to record an EP with the band. The process started in 1979 at Leon Russell's studio in North Hollywood CA, Jim Mankey from the original SPARKS engineered (and Johnette Napolitano from CONCRETE BLONDE was the receptionist!) the record. It took way too long to record and by the time Frontier finally released it, the band decided to call it quits. The EP was released to decent fanfare and gradually became a record collector favorite. Fast forward to 2024, FLYBOYS' bass player and sometime singer/songwriter Scott Lasken was leaving Los Angeles and discovered a reel of five unreleased, unheard (and not even remembered) FLYBOYS demos in his closet! Two songs- "Live for Today" and "Every Day" - did not appear on the Frontier EP but three of the demos do, but all are faster and looser due to the songs being so new and recorded for the first time. What a find that was! FLYBOYS The Complete Flyboys 1978-1980 consists of the Frontier EP, the Square City 45 and five unheard, previously unreleased demos and will gain a whole new respect and enthusiasm for the band that they have deserved ever since day one. We can't wait for the world to hear it!

Good quality, but a few issues with the hidden mounts and levelness.
Size: 35x7 2Pcs, Color: Black, Size: 35x7 2Pcs, Color: Black
These are quite nice and also sturdy. Only complaint I have is that I bought a couple of these, and on one of them, only one of them, it was difficult to get the hidden mounts to go into the holes. I think it was probably a manufacturing defect thing. Also, on that particular one, it wasnt as level as the other. Not a show stopper, but if you need a perfectly level type of mounting situation, I would be careful here.

Nice looking. Not very sturdy. Easy to install.

Update: The shelf slopes at about a 45° angle when you put anything more than about a pound on the outside edge of it. Perfectly fine up against the wall. Just seems like the braces inside aren't long enough to really give the stability needed. Bracket is nice and tight against the wall. Had to add braces underneath to hold a small plant, a photo and a small container. Wa sloping more and more each week The shelves look great and we're pretty easy to install. They have a single bracket that is very easy to mount to the wall and get nice and level.. The downside is that the bracket isn't long enough to go between studs. This seems like a pretty simple oversight. I mean why wouldn't you make it long enough to go stud to stud? Secondly and maybe more fatally the bars that go inside the shelf to support them coming out from the wall are significantly shorter than the depth of the shelf. Unfortunately this means the shelf is only supported the first few inches coming out from the wall so there is the potential for a slight lean forward.. The anchors they send are trash. Cheap soft plastic that just tears and bends with a screwdriver. I would suggest spending $2 and grabbing your own anchors from Ace or home Depot. The shelves are essentially made of a high grade cardboard kind of wood. They are not going to support much weight or last for years and years however there incredibly affordable and look nice and easy to install. Long as your expectations are right you'll be happy.
