# 456 The Aristocrats - My date

Side a: My date
Side b: I want to be a landlord
USA 1981
Great quirky powerpop from this Harrisburg/ Pennsylvania trio. This is their lone (?) release. Member Jay Spiegel forms in the early 90's the band Gumball. A cool record!

I want to thank you for featuring my record. I’m Raymond Burkett. I wrote the songs, sang and overdubbed the vocals, as well as played the guitars and bass on this record. My friend Joe Trojcak was on keyboards and Jay Spiegel on drums. It was our only professional record. I wish we had done more. We made it one summer when we were all home from college. But I have many more songs from those days. We are now in the process of digitizing, creating videos and uploading them to YouTube. So stay tuned, there’s more Aristocrats to come. Thanks again and take care, Raymond Burkett
