Vinyl Shoes” (currently available from Cherry Red in extended 3-CD format), Illinois band Shoes duly attracted major label interest, and they signed to Elektra in early 1979.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOver the next three years they released a triptych of classic pop albums – “Present Tense”, “Tongue Twister” and “Boomerang” – and a clutch of Wurlitzer-worthy seven-inch nuggets that should have catapulted them to fame, fortune and all
