The Willard released this 12“ in 1987 on Eastworld, part of Toshiba EMI. The ep has one track off their 3rd album „The Legend Of Silver Guns“ plus two non-album tracks. While I found „Who Sings A Gloria?“, The Willard’s first album on a major, still pretty much comparable to their indie releases, by the time Silly Games the music does sound somewhat changed. This may be due to the fatter and very clean production, though; „Silly Games“ and „Searching For Your Eyes“ (I really dig the organ solo!) are still fast-paced and melodic punk songs, but they sound a bit tamer to my ears than their previous output. „You’re Lost Little Girl“ on the other hand IS a pretty clean ballad.
Anyway, this is still a very cool 12“ and it’s very much worth checking out!
