Jul 27, 2008 - omg. Thanks for posting this. I haven't head this song for 20 yrs. I used to play this in a club. People always asked me who sang this song. I had to play it 3 times every night.

Aug 17, 2008 - sfsindee, thank you again for posting this rare track. I've listened to it about 100 times now, just get such a rush from this song and brings back so many memories, SF in the 80's was the place to be.

Sep 1, 2008 - Yeah... I remember getting this single at the Record Rack, back then there were so many great places to get toonz, like Rough Trade on 6th, Butch Wax, Leopolds in Berkeley and a punk pace call Rather Ripped in Berkeley and so many more. We went to Stargaze when I was young, later Primary and then the Paladium on Thursday and 15 Minutes on Wed, Das Club and The Oasis. Now There's New Wave City, at the DNA, Temptation & Strangelove at the Cat Club and Pop Scene for the younk folks...

Sep 15, 2008 - The Palladium - enter in the evening and come out after sun rise and get some doughnuts... Live 105 - I got tix to see the B52's and Blondie on those boat cruises they ran in the 80's... I loved the I-Beam... man...so many memories... It is hard getting old. LOL

Oct 10, 2008 - Holy crap! I've found my people! Cool. I was there in the late 80's. I was about to ask if anyone went to Stargaze but that is covered here too. It was an incredible time! Now I'm 41 and live in Virginia :( The club scene is dismal unless you just like to get drunk and puke

Oct 18, 2008 - Thank you SO very much for putting this up. I've been trying to find this track again for years. Literally. Just curious, do you just have this as a single or do you have the full album? If you've got the full album, you are quite lucky indeed. Limited to only 100,000 copies. Cheers and thanks again.

sfsindee Says:

Oct 18, 2008 - I own the full album (vinyl & cd) as well most of the 12" singles. I always hear how limited "A Dark Enchantment" is but I've seen it for sale numerous times. I picked up two copies of the vinyl, payed $1 for one and $3 for the other.

Nov 6, 2008 - Such beautiful memories...how can I ever thank you for posting this?!?!?

argent3rd Says:

Nov 13, 2008 - Terrific! Big thx! A couple of years ago in San Francisco, I saw that a band named Secession was playing either at Bottom of the Hill or Slims. Never made the show but I've always wondered if that was the this band with a new vocalist or another band altogether. Does anyone know?

miketb42 Says:
