20/20: 20/20/Look Out! CD
Steve Allen and Ron Flynt followed the power pop path blazed by fellow Tulsa natives Phil Seymour and Dwight Twilley when they moved in 1977 to Los Angeles, where they formed (with Mike Gallo) what has universally become one of the most highly-regarded power pop/new wave outfits of the era, 20/20. How highly-regarded? Well, the long out-of-print CD reissue of their two albums on the Portrait label sells for over $50—and that’s for a used copy! But we’ve gone that previous release one, er, two better with the addition of a pair of non-LP single sides, “Child’s Play” and “People in Your Life,” that have never been on CD—in effect, this twofer presents 20/20’s complete Portrait recordings. New liner notes featuring interviews with Allen, Flynt and Chris Silagyi, photos and a fresh remastering by Maria Triana at Battery Studios only add to the 20/20 “vision.”
