Jane Aire & the Belvederes

Artist: Jane Aire & the Belvederes
LP: 7" single
Song: "I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten" 
[ listen ]

After producer Liam Sternberg discovered Jane Aire—reportedly at a karaoke joint in Akron, Ohio—and hooked her up with Stiff Records to release her "Yankee Wheels" single in 1978, she moved over to Virgin Records to record a full-length LP. The LP flopped, and it was back to Stiff for this 1982 single that I discovered a few months ago in Albany, New York. It's reportedly a cover of a Dusty Springfield song. You can read basically the same information about Jane and The Belvederes here and here, then listen to "Yankee Wheels" on the Indie Handbook website here.
