COMES WITH INSERT AND IS A GATEFOLD WITH PICTURES OF BAND. The liner notes credited the line-up as rhythm guitarist Joe Doherty, drummer Ron Ingalsh, bassist Steve Nelson, lead guitarist Bob O'Conner and singer David Petri. Elsewhere some of the reference materials I've seen indicated these were from Sebastopol, California (slightly north of San Francisco). Self-produced, the set featured all original material, with O'Connor, Doherty and Petri responsible for all ten tracks. Sonically the set was pretty basic, with much of it sporting a distant, kind of echoy sound. 'Course I'd argue that didn't really hurt the proceedings. Petri's snarling voice (with his short blonde hair he looked like a Sting wannabe) and O'Connor's chunky guitar (love the unique $ shape - see the inner cover for a picture of it), propelled most of the album giving tracks like 'Turn To Glass', 'Kicking Around' (the most conventional and commercial song) and 'Let's Have An Affair' a unique garage-cum-punk sound. Strange liner notes coupled with tracks like 'Tie Your Boots Tight', 'Sleeping in a Technical Bed' (don't ask since I don't have a clue what the lyrics were about) added in a healthy dose of weirdness. Still, the results were actually quite energetic and entertaining. Mind you, this isn't an album you'd play all the time, but it's got a place in my 'keeper' collection (I'm selling a duplicate copy). The band apparently pressed 1,000 copies and all were pressed on clear blue vinyl. There are reissues of the record . discog has 3 originals selling rated very good at $100 and near mint at $ 200
