All songs recorded live to 8 tracks

The first album (also known as First Album) combines refried hillbilly twang and hot rod instrumentals with a slight nod to the Cramps: see such lo-fi wheelies as "Psycho Surfing," "Primitive Guy" and "Atom Age Trucker." It's almost touching that "Demon Death" helps itself to the Outer Limits theme.Other than a single here and there, SCOTS was little heard from over the next seven years. Then came the deluge.
Since 1985, Chapel Hill singer/guitarist Rick Miller has been leading his merry band of North Carolina trash merchants, dressing up in hillbilly threads but playing bugeyed rock'n'roll, instrumentals, R&B and country swill with a lurid sense of humor, abundant skill and true historical dedication. The trio takes a loose and evidently well-meant minstrel-like approach to its Appalachian heritage, walking a strange line between the poles of taunting and exploiting a widely disrespected people. Southern Culture on the Skids' records do neither, but simply take what they know and bend it into a cheerful caricature of a colorful personality.
Vinyl and insert are in Near MINT condition and jacket is in VG+ condition (edge/corner wear, ringwear).
