One live track, three studio, all written or co-written by
Robin Lane, and the last gasp from
The Chartbusters before their reunion in June of 2001 is this four song E.P. from 1984. Gone is Leroy
Radcliffe replaced by keyboardist Wally J. Baier and "additional guitarist" Billy Loosigian from The Joneses / Willie Alexander's Boom Boom Band. Cool double entendre is this "old message" with better production values than the three Warner Brothers releases. Andy Pratt keyboard player and Arista artist himself Andy Mendelson engineered allowing
The Chartbusters the total control they never had on the major label discs. It shows with vastly improved sound and fury. The
Heart Connection e.p. has an authority that the band exuded in live performance at clubs in and around Boston, and would be a delight coupled on cd with their Deli Platters three song single which generated so much interest when
Robin Lane hooked up with the ex-members of The Modern Lovers.
