The Cockroaches at El Mocombo
I got 1 of 10 copies today in Toronto.
The record store was on Spadina Avenue, the same street as the El Mocombo where “The Cockroaches” played in 1977. My whole life as a diehard fan from Toronto I felt envy for those who got to be at that show. I wasn’t even close to being born yet, but it still hurts somehow. So it feels sort of redemptive that I got one of the copies today to close the loop on this Cockroaches lore 50 years later.
