Songs for Sinners Album Release!

Hey everyone!
It's been great that this collection of ephemera about Big Red Box has been getting so much traction lately! More eyes means a greater chance someone remembers something, and we can piece together this little bit of new wave history. A couple of you folks have asked whether the songs are available to listen to anywhere else, in this digital age.
None of the original band members being around to ask, I was a little wary, but after a bit of soul-searching I went back to what Mal Grace said in the Your Life on Sound interview:
IT IS ALSO OTHER PLACES...
LOOK UP BIG! RED! BOX!
And, well, she said it better than I ever could! Even if CDs and cassette players are a thing of the past, kids who need to hear this music will always be around. And I figure the more copies of it get spread around, the less likely it is that BRB will manage to slip back into the aether when this site succumbs to the inevitable forces of link rot and digital decay. I'm sure Mal, Henry, and William wouldn't mind.
All of this to say: I uploaded what we've found of the BRB songs so far to Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube Music, and whatever other random services I could find! It's still being approved, I think -- I've never had to do this kind of thing before -- but it should be rolling out sometime this week. I'll update this page once it's all up! And as we locate more Big Red Box songs, I'll keep 'em coming to the streaming services as long as I'm able.
And, hey, thanks for listening!
