Out Of Time: The Material Issue Story - 2021 - 6/10

Documentary of the fondly remembered, yet ill-fated Chicago group
Focus on singer, songwriter, frontman Jim Ellison throughout.

Chronology weaves with hit songs, along with studio labors.
Although the heads reflect on missed greatness, power pop has always struggled.
As do most groups in general. There is “the moment”, brief and brilliant, then the fade.
Their debut album “International Pop Overthrow” was very popular and it was on heavy rotation in our record store.
The second fared less well, the third not at all.
Most groups break up at this point, a few slog on, Ellison chose a darker route.
