This is the 2004 2CD reissue on Deep Shag Records of Sussman Lawrence's two distinguished and rare indie albums—“Hail To The Modern Hero!” (1980) and “Pop City” (1984) entitled "The Complete Sussman Lawrence (1979 - 1985)” which includes four rare bonus tracks. As the singer, songwriter and guitarist for the band, this set contains the earliest recordings of Peter Himmelman.

Both albums were recorded at the height of Sussman Lawrence’s creative genius in sculpting a sound that veteran Billboard writer Jim Bessman, who covered the group for Variety, aptly called a cross between Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello.
