This collection of recordings has an overly complicated and convoluted history, first being self-released in 1992 as "Heads Up! for 53... Here Comes 3 Blue Teardrops." Later the band signed a deal with London based Psychobilly label Nervous Records and re-recorded 8 of these early tracks which came out in 1993 as part of the "One Part Fist" CD. The band then signed a dal with now defunct Florida based Teen Rebel Records in 1994 and released most of the American tracks in this collection on the "(Stilletto) Poised in Hate" CD. After the label folded in 1998, these recordings became unavailable and increasingly rare to the point used discs were sold at ridiculously high prices and bootleg copies were discovered in far flung places like Los Angeles and Germany. Finally the band got pissed off enough to reissue it themselves.

So... Here you have it: the OFFICIALLY sanctioned Lo Fidelity, 4 track and 8 track early complete recordings of Three Blue Teardrops, all recorded by engineer and rock scene stalwart Chuck Uchida at his Attica studios in the heady early days of the Wicker Park rock scene of Chicago, Illinois in 1991-1994. EVERY track from the band's original cassette and Teen Rebel release is contained here including outtakes, alternate takes and some shit that should probably never see the light of day. Enjoy this document of some classic early American raw Garage PunkRockabilly and Psychobilly by one of the United States earliest purveyors of this exciting genre!

Three Blue Teardrops 1991-1994

Randy Sabo (part 1)

Randy Sabo, Dave Sisson and Rick Uppling are the founding members of the band which formed in the fall of 1991 after a couple of misfires during that summer. Eventually they got things rolling and after a few gigs playing original music out of the gate, recorded the above tracks with Chuck Uchida at Attica Studios over several sessions during Randy's first tenure with band.  These tracks were recorded on an old school 4 track and eventually 8 track tape machine bounced off a reel to reel for some old school Sun Records slap back echo.  Here the boys stand on the roof of the Flat Iron Building in Chicago's Wicker Park in 1991 where they had a shared rehearsal space with friends and comrades Hi-Fi & The Roadburners.
