AUDIO ONLY. Happy Rhodes - Rhodes II - 01 - "Come Here" (1986)
Shown is the cover and spine of the Rhodes II cassette, now out-of-print. Those cassettes were hand-made by Happy Rhodes and Kevin Bartlett. Ok, they didn't forge the plastic or make the paper, but when they got an order they would dub each cassette individually, and put together the cassette insert themselves. They did this with each of the first four albums ("1st4") until they were all re-released on CD in 1992.
The picture on each cassette is an actual photograph of a painting by Happy, cut and pasted onto a cassette insert. That's true of Rhodes I, Rhodes II and Ecto. Rearmament has a blurry photograph of Happy's eyes, but again, a copy of the photograph was cut and pasted onto each cassette. The track listing was often hand-typed too.
The original painting for Rhodes I is now owned by a fan (me).
Monsters were Happy's friends growing up, and she still loves them.

Lyrics:
Come Here
I see you almost every day
You sing the words
That I might say
So don't you think that
We could have something, babe
Come here and let me show you what I think
Come here Come here
Come here Come here
Come here Come here
Come here Come here
I want to feel you in the dark, babe
Come here Come home
I see in you a million stars
I know that you'll go very far
I only want to know you better babe
Give me the time to show you what matters
Come here Come here
Come here Come here
Come here Come here
Come here Come here
I want to feel you in the dark, babe
Come here Come home
Maybe you know me, I'm right inside your closet
Open the door and let me out
If you can free me, then maybe we can play, babe
All you have to do is look my way
Come here Come here
Come here Come here
Come here Come here
Come here Come here
I want to feel you in the dark, babe
Come here Come home
Can you tell me why I shouldn't love you?
Maybe I have something you might like
Be still, relax, and let me have your hand, babe
Come with the one who'll love you as a man
Come here Come here
Come here Come here
Come here Come here
Come here Come here
I want to feel you in the dark, babe
Come here Come home
