I got into YFF back in the early ’90s when This One’s For The Ladies was released. It was a good couple weeks. The week before I had bought the dubut album by The Stone Roses and was blown away. YFF’s I bought on a whim because I liked the artwork and thought song titles like “Taco Wagon” sounded right up my alley. Needless to say it made me a fan, and largely because of their cover of The Kinks’ “Picture Book” as we see here. I was not aware that it was an old Kinks track at the time. When I finally did hear the original version, I was disappointed. YFF gave it punch and buzz. I came along to liking Ray Davies’ version, but never as much as this one.

I personally got to know Patti Rothberg shortly after she released her second album, Candelabra Cadabra. I did an interview with her, and we stayed in touch afterwards, and eventually after I got my old site Echo From Esoterica up and running, she even had her own section in it which was a monthly online gallery of her painted works and/or personal photos of life around NYC. Those were some groovy times. Anyway, here’s a clip for “Treat Me Like Dirt” from her debut album Between The 1 And The 9 which was released on EMI America, which folded shortly thereafter, but not before the album got great press and critical acclaim.
