The Real Kids are an American rock band from Boston, led by guitarist, singer and songwriter John Felice. Felice (born 1955) grew up in Natick, Massachusetts, as a neighbor and friend of Jonathan Richman, a fellow fan of the Velvet Underground. At 15 he joined Richman in the first line-up of the Modern Lovers in the early 1970s.

This Norton CD, however, catches them early in the ball game, their debut album for the tiny Red Star label with all the great John Felice tunes like "All Kindsa Girls," "Taxi Boys" (which later became the name of an offshoot group that recorded for Dave Pierce's Star Rhythm imprint, the label that also issued the second Real Kids album), "My Baby's Book," and "Better Be Good" along with spirited covers of Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran material just to give you the big picture.

The Real Kids was a Boston Garage Rock band. The line-up was formed by John Felice, former "Modern Lovers" guitarist in 1972, on vocal and guitar, Alan "Alpo" Paulino on bass (died on 6 February 2006 of a heart attack), Billy Borgioli on guitar, Kevin Glasheen on drums (then Howard Ferguson). The first and most important LP, "The Real Kids" was released in 1977 by Red Star Records.

Talk about The Real Kids - The Real Kids


Malogamand
Despite the identical track listing and credits, this is clearly a completely different recording of the same set of songs that made up the first LP. Interesting that this seems to go consistently unremarked upon.
Vit
wow, really? That's pretty interesting! They must be alternate takes from the same recording sessions, or what do you think? I've been meaning to get this pressing as well but I've never pulled the trigger...would be really cool to hear these cuts!-Andy
