I love gimmicky 80s records, so this was right up my alley when I found it in Albany: A UK 7-inch picture disc of The Motels’ camp classic, “Take The L Out Of Lover (And It’s Over).” A staple of MTV in its infancy, it isn’t a great song, but the performance is—it’s deliciously OTT dramatic, plus it has a great piano breakdown 2/3 of the way through.

Martha Davis and The Motels. She knows how to wail. #lost80slive #marthadavis #themotels #shesstillgotit #Sundayfunday #concerts (at Greek Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch0-wYiLvAl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I still have more of these vintage lady musician ads to post! #MarthaDavis might be better known for the duo Martha adavis & Spouse from the late 1950s& early 60s, but she was plugging away long before that! https://www.instagram.com/p/BuzfCc4gBYD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17873urnxs6pv
