I'm not sure it's even The Soft Boys' best album — A Can Of Bees is more fun to listen to, it's just not as psychedelic.

I guess it has their closest thing to a hit. Or, at least a song that I’d heard before checking out the album.

I like this one. It really holds up. I might see if I can find a playlist with some more Hitchcock/ Soft Boys related stuff on it.
