DAVID WERNER, 1979. FULL ALBUM

[@davidkaiser2074]

THIS is a wonderful album. David Werner was played on Chicago FM radio (WXRT) and we started covering his songs in my band....just great to see this here

[@michaelliva1790]

As a former Chicagoan, I'm quite familiar with WXRT. However, I lived in Denver for a number of years and became friends with Jim Petersson (brother of Tom Petersson, bass player from Cheap Trick.) Now I know why Jim liked this performer so much.

Heart to heart

He Is From Pittsburgh

[@davidhefner2010]

I just never get tired of this album....😌

[@davidellis5141]

One of the most underrated albums of all time. Never on CD. Very much of its time. Tom Petty & Cars fans should have eaten this up. Epic worked it hard. Public struck out.

[@bfan6032]

I bought it along with TP and the Cars and Blondie, etc.

[@davidhefner2010]

The whole Lp is a knock out-and I've been listening to it since I had it on vinyl

[@rockerupchuck4468]

Was so excited when this album came out in 1979 ! David’s 3rd and last album . Have great memories from that year 👀

[@wintermintleaf]

i found this vinyl at second and charles and just got it cause it looked cool. don't regret buying it at all. my favorite track is probably eye to eye

[@dogcowrph]

Thanks for posting. This is one album that got a lot of play at my house in 1979.

Back to the great era. This record was never afraid to break-out of the rigid. Remember when radio (KSJO) went at rock from every angle? A fearless disc that I will always come crawling back to.

[@geocs5895]

Summer of 1975, KSJO played "Cold Shivers" from Imagination Quota tons of times, I had to have the album, but nobody stocked it. Finally found a copy at Dogmouth Records in Los Gatos; 50 cents. Best 50 cents I ever spent! This one is great, too. Werner adapted to the times very well.

[@skymanroberson5684]

I, too, first heard this on WXRT - went to see him @ B'Ginnings in Schaumberg. Ian Hunter (of Mott the Hoople) produced and played harmonica on a couple of cuts. I still listen to this in 2020. AMAZING bass & guitar work on this whole record.

[@MrJoe-cp3hq]

Wow, I saw the Boomtown Rats there. I think I saw David Werner open for Graham Parker at Park West, but those are some pretty foggy memories.

[@SPEEDOFDOG]

If only this were still available and on cd. I have it on vinyl I bought it when came out. I was a junior in high school. I heard it on KMEL 106.1- THE CAMEL SAN FRANCISCO. Still spin it from time to time.

[@davidhefner2010]

It has legs

[@brettlunden8268]

A great guitarist played on this album, Mark Doyle. He has his own KZbin channel. Also, the songs are great.

[@kenvelickoff4275]

Remember buying cassette

[@Steve-bu4er]

Coming back DW . This is your legacy, I'm an artist and pretty shitty by most accounts. But this is so perfect. Guess true wordship is trying find your clothes and smoking as cool as you seem to be. Thank you for this.

[@concretebob7680]

Heard this on KSFM Earthradio 102 out of Sacramento in the Summer of 1979. After the station went Disco in the Fall of 1979, I bought this on vinyl. Still own and enjoy this record. It has aged well.

[@mariegranato3370]

thank you so much for putting this up - impossible to find on line

[@keith9482]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4vQqomejtqBo9U very hard to find👍🏻👍🏻stumbled across this interesting character who dissects and reacts to great 70,80’s music 😊he has an eclectic taste you might enjoy!!

[@davidhefner2010]

Apparently

This Guy Is From Pittsburgh Incase You Were Wondering I First Heard This On WDVE In Pittsburgh 1979

[@jefmas]

thank you so much for posting...david werner is fantastic...owned his first 2 albums back in the 70's when they first came out (1974 and 1975) though never had this one...so appreciative...any chance you could upload the entire "whizz kid" album...?!

[@davidhefner2010]

That is so funny Seriously This is the only album I've known I've never heard these previous works

[@Studamato]

I just found this album, promo, mint condition at a record store for $6 yesterday! I had this promo from DVE when I was 15 after I wrote to them asking if they had any thing they could send me lol. They sent me a box of albums with this, Donnie Iris, Norm Nardini etc! My ex wife wouldn't give me my albums back after the divorce...probably the bitch that sold the album to the record store but I finally got that shit back over 35 (

[@davidhefner2010]

Coveted this record since I don't even know if it finally ever DID come out on cd

[@jimdelapiedra6480]

It is now available on cd. I just ordered it from Amazon.

[@davidellis5141]

@@jimdelapiedra6480 It was a bootleg if you did. There is no official CD available.. sadly. Nothing in the works either 😕

[@margaretbrookes8175]

is this his later more popular one?I had an early one,and loved it as much as David Bowie

[@ekompilation]

THIS LP WAS THE THIRD AND LAST OF DAVID WERNER IN RECORDING STUDIO.. I'm glad you like it.

[@davidkaiser2074]

not quite Bowie level lol....but a very underappreciated artist and career....I will always remember the first pained chords of "what's right" sliding in behind the manik tone of the first cut.

[@davidellis5141]

@@ekompilation Do you have the promo only live EP ?

[@davidhefner2010]

Which of course, says quite alot (My LPS were: low, stage, ziggy, outside)

[@oppothumbs1]

This is weak.
