I Got A Light On You 1966 She Cracked [Jonathan Richman And The Modern Lovers]

Not to be confused with the west coast Prime Movers. From "Throb Story" http://www.hyped2death.com/throbstory.html, a timeline of the Throbbing Lobster record company: Prime Movers -Matters of Time EP (Bisque-3) Winter '84-85. Managed by Joyce Linehan who also did the Smithereens, Plan 9 and the Lemonheads. She was working for Throbbing Lobster at the time... Sloppygreat garage raving live, had some trouble in the studio. Pat Dinizio came in to help rescue the sessions and did a pretty good job. Unfortunately he chainsmoked so energetically that I couldn't stand the thought of signing his band, the Smithereens. There was a national tour, fueled by shoplifted bologna and, um, VERY quick stops for gas... The record got taken on by Closer/Virgin Europe, but meanwhile, Richard Branson's mortal enemy, Jimmy Blackwell had signed another band of the same name from L.A. Our guys had the legal high ground, but no money for lawyers, so Richard and Jimmy battled it out with their lawyers, just to fuck each other. Both bands gave up. The Boston lot split into the Voodoo Dolls and the Slaves.
