The US versions of this album have an additional track, namely "Gangsters," which is good because I'm in the USA and that's my favorite song of theirs. If I had to choose a favorite from the UK version, it would probably be "Too Much Too Young" — the version of that song on the "Deluxe Edition" (which is what you'll find on the streaming services) is three times as long. I'm not so sure the added length is an improvement, though.

It's still hard to believe that the lead singer of this band later went on to make the Colour Field albums, not to mention his solo LPs ("Home" and "Laugh," among other stuff)... TBH, these days I'm probably more likely to put one of those albums on than this one.

I cant think of a better high energy sort of album. Total class.
