After their two initial
Planet Records albums,
the Plimsouls took the major-label bait and signed on with
Geffen Records.
Everywhere at Once, their first
Geffen album, has mixed results. While the change to a major label did have a profound impact on the band, it wasn't always for the best. While
Jeff Eyrich's somewhat heavy-handed production did take a little air out of their performance, the end result is far less clinical than other major-label mainstream
rock records of the day.
Everywhere at Once does contain
the Plimsouls' greatest recorded achievement,
"A Million Miles Away," which packs all of the passion and punch of some of
John Lennon's finest recordings with a wonderful power-driven
Byrds-like arrangement. Other standouts on this record include
"Play the Breaks" which, while not quite as awesome as it is in a live performance (they were possibly the finest live band in Los Angeles in this period), still shines.
