Whatever Happened To Fun... - Candy (26) - LP - Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 21days)

Candy’s 'Whatever Happened To Fun...' is a sparkling artifact from the golden age of power pop, released in 1985 but sounding as if it’s forever basking in the afterglow of the late '70s. Featuring a young Gilby Clarke before his Guns N’ Roses days, the band distilled California’s breezy optimism into ten tracks that balance innocence with bittersweet longing. The album brims with whip-smart harmonies, chiming guitars, and infectious choruses that evoke the spirit of The Raspberries and Cheap Trick, yet maintain a distinctive West Coast flavor. What sets this record apart is its earnest embrace of melody over trend-chasing, offering listeners an authentic escape into a world where the radio is always blasting summer anthems and heartbreak feels cinematic. Every track is meticulously crafted, with production that allows each instrument’s warmth and energy to shine through. For vinyl collectors and fans of melodic rock, 'Whatever Happened To Fun...' is both a joyous rediscovery of lost innocence and a testament to the enduring power of a great pop song. This is the kind of album that will find its way onto your turntable again and again, each spin revealing new layers of charm.
