Description:
Vaughn is a rock `n `roll renaissance man -- a artist and songwriter, producer (Arthur Alexander`s acclaimed Lonely Just Like Me, Charlie Feathers), and prolific TV score-smith (Third Rock from the Sun, That `70s Show and Grounded for Life.) The Jersey/Philly boy put himself on the map with the 1986 album The Many Moods of Ben Vaughn and followed up with this 1987 album, Beautiful Thing, cut in a New Jersey garage and originally issued on Restless Records. The album contains such tracks as "She`s a Real Scream" (with the infamous line `Her end justifies the means"), the Gary Usher-like surf sound of `Desert Boots,` `Jerry Lewis in France,` ` Clothes Don`t Make The Man,` ` Beautiful Thing,` ` The North Wind Blew,` `Shingaling with Me,` and `Gimme Gimme Gimme.`. A nearly forgotten classic, reissued with liner notes by pop scholar Gene Sculatti and quotes from Vaughn himself. Originally released in 1987.(Nobel Rot)
