Walk Away Renee/Pretty Ballerina

AMG Review of Walk Away Renee/Pretty Ballerina

All Music Guide

The Left Banke's debut was a terrific if largely unrecognized effort of classy aroque pop, featuring entirely original material. The two hit title tracks were standouts, but nearly every other cut was in the same league, the glowing arrangements intertwining with their beautiful harmonies, at times rocking fairly hard. Every song was reissued on the There's Gonna Be a Storm anthology, making it unnecessary to locate a pricey copy of the original vinyl.
