A thrilling recent find: The Bangles’ (sort of) first indie single from before they got signed to a major label. It’s in minty mint shape and even this early in 1982, you can hear a bit of what they’ll become in just a few years. So why do I say it’s “sort of” their first record? They were originally called The Bangs, and released this single themselves only to immediately discover that another band already had that name—so they had to rerelease it with their new name printed on the label and sleeve.
